This week on Economic Update, Professor Wolff delivers updates on how 60 mega corporations paid no 2018 Federal taxes, why GM's CEO gets $29.1 million while GM fires thousands and wrecks communities, how the Notre Dame tragedy exposes French inequality as billionaires suddenly find money for a church, not for the people and the rising wave of U.S. worker strikes reflect militance and unity.
In the second half of the show, Professor Wolff interviews Rebecca Lurie, the Director of the Community and Worker Ownership Project at CUNY.
Rebecca Lurie’s first career was as a union carpenter where she moved to teaching the trade and then to developing a specialty in union and industry partnered workforce development linked to community economic development. Always dedicated to equitable community development, she collaborates on numerous projects in NYC assuring that the voices and talents of workers are cultivated and included.
