Locally Produced Heartland Labor Forum Wins National Award |
The volunteer producers of The Heartland Labor Forum on KKFI 90.1FM are proud to announce that we have won First Place in the International Labor Communications Association Film and Broadcast Contest.
Our entry of a program we produced on October 31, 2002 "The Wal-Martian Chronicles, A Halloween Horror Story" won First Award for Long Radio Programs produced by union members/staff. The show featured interviews with Jim Kabell of the Teamsters union and Jerry Helmick of the United Food and Commericial Workers and with two anonymous Wal-Mart supervisors who testified to Wal-Mart's systematic violations of labor law. It was produced by Judy Ancel, ILS Director. The engineer was Karen Wright, and technical assistance was provided by Tom Klammer.
The International Labor Communications Association is a professional support organization for labor communicators in North America that serves as an instrument of support for the AFL-CIO and the Canadian Labor Conference (CLC).
The Heartland Labor Forum airs every Thursday from 6:00 - 7:00 P.M. on KKFI. The show has been on the air since 1989, and has one awards from ILCA two times before. The Heartland Labor Forum is coordinated by The Institute for Labor Studies, a joint program of UMKC and Longview Community College. |
