Is Anti-Union Rhetoric Full Of Myths?

Anti-union rhetoric has been trumpeting out of of recent debates in Wisconsin and Michigan, but one labor activist says much of it is a myth.

In the first part of Tuesday's Up to Date, we'll speak with Bill Fletcher about what he calls union myths, which include accusations of responsibility for budget deficits, being overpaid and more.

HEAR MORE: Bill Fletcher will speak at 6:30 p.m. March 19 at the Kansas City Central Library. The event is co-sponsored by the Institute for Labor Studies at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
