For my radio news story I will be discussing the decline of unions. During his 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump promised to spend a trillion dollars in infrastructure and promised that work to unions but typical Trump that was all words. Despite his claims of admiration of unions during his campaign, during his presidency he has been trimming away at their rights, making union workers like an endangered species. In order to execute this podcast, I will be interviewing Santiago Ruiz, a third year “m-helper” electrician who is apart of Union Local 3 and will also be interviewing Joe Hester, assistant employment director of Local 3’s employment department.
