Bill Moyers asks activists: Is Labor a lost cause?

Last week, as Americans focused on the Supreme Court's rulings on the Affordable Care Act and Arizona's new anti-immigrant law, a "disturbing" decision got lost in the shuffle.

Knox "is just the latest attack in the ongoing battle against labor. And like the fight in Wisconsin and other states, it focuses on public sector unions – in part because they’re the greatest remaining bastion of labor’s power," according to Moyers & Company.

In light of the Knox decision, Bill Moyers focused his Friday night show on the future of Labor, featuring a conversation with experienced Labor activists Stephen Lerner and Bill Fletcher, Jr.
