Andy Stern, the president of the fastest growing union in the
nation, delivers his take on what big corporate buyouts on Wall
Street mean for America's workers.
On Wall Street, private equity firms are buying up corporations and
turning them around for huge profits. What does it mean for
America's workers and for the economic gap between average families
and the wealthiest Americans? Andrew Stern, the president of
Service Employees International Union - the fastest growing union
in the nation - weighs in.
Also on the program, Bill Moyers interviews writer, activist and
philosopher Grace Lee Boggs, who has taken part in some of the
seminal civil rights struggles in U.S. history, about her belief
that real change for democracy will come from the
grassroots. "We're not looking sufficiently at what is
happening at the grassroots in the country," she says. "We
have not emphasized sufficiently the cultural revolution that we
have to make ... in order to force the government to do
differently."
