About the show

WORKERS OF THE WORLD TUNE IN!
Introducing "Building Bridges: Your Community & Labor Report"

Building Bridges: Your Community & Labor Report is the longest running and best known labor/community affairs radio program in the New York, Metropolitan area. We may also be the best known labor radio show nationally as we distribute a weekly one half hour National Edition which is regularly carried by 17 broadcast radio stations and 6 internet radio stations.

As our name implies we provide a mix of labor and community based programming tackling the issues of the working class, where they work and where they live. We do so in the belief that by broadcasting the voices of the forces who seek social justice in their respective venues that we heighten awareness of the public and even facilitate the coming together of those forces to unite for change.

While we emphasize local and domestic programming we have done extensive coverage of development and the underdevelopment of people throughout the world and against U.S. aggression such as it’s war in Iraq. We produce regular annual extended broadcasts on Labor Day and May Day as well as specials on critical issues that may arise throughout the year, such as the battle to increase the minimum wage, and secure health care for all, as well to defeat privatization of the social security system.

While Building Bridges concentrates primarily on local activists fighting front line battles in New York, the country and across the globe, we have also brought to the air much of the union leadership in NYC and the country as well as such luminaries over the years such as Nelson Mandela, and the first radio interview with Michelle Bachelet, then a candidate for the Presidency of Chile, Cesar Chavez, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Harry Belafonte and scores of other personalities.
