Description

Mike Elk of Pay Day Report joined Bob to talk about the current state of labor conflicts in the U.S.  Huntington Steel, a Warren Buffet company, is on strike amid demands for givebacks.  The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center is on strike.  The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees and workers at John Deere just settled.   
We also talked about the so-called labor shortages, which are resulting in workers getting higher wages now; the number of people who've left jobs in the past year; and the continued docility of union leadership.
