********************************************
 "The Toyota You Don't Know"

with

Charles Kernaghan , National Labor Committee

 

Toyota, may be known for environmentally friendly cars, but

that "sensitivity" hardy extends to its treatment of its workers

in Japan, U.S., Burma and the Philippines. Building Bridges

previews a new expose, "The Toyota You Don't Know" a

study in abuse.

************************************

Atlantic City Casino Workers

Want to be Dealt a Fair Hand

with

Ed Little, dealer at Trump Plaza

and

Sharon Masino, dealer at Caesar's Palace

 

Casino dealers, slot technicians, keno and simulcast workers

won six U.A.W. union representation elections at four major

Atlantic City casinos. While the owners make huge profits,

casino workers wages, health care benefits and working

conditions have deteriorated. And, despite the overwhelming

pro-union majorities in the elections, casino operators are

playing Russian Roulette with workers seeking a contract.
