Labor On The Job, a show produced by the Labor Video Project focuses on the recent victory of the FMPR which represents the Puerto Rican teachers. Despite a $20 union busting raid by SEIU leaders Dennis Hickey Rivera and SEIU President Andy Stern, the teachers of Puerto Rico have stopped the effort to replace them with a management controlled union representing school bosses and principles. This union was funded and backed by the SEIU which supports privatization of the schools.
The program interviews labor historian and videographer Pedro Angel Rivera and shows a recent tape produced by the union "Lessons In Dignity, Respect & Solidarity". The program also looks at the history of the Puerto Rican working class and the role of US unions including Samuel Gompers in the early development of the Puerto Rican labor movement.
