Presentation by Deepa Kumar The need for a critical analysis of how labor struggles are presented and packaged by the corporate media and how labor can counteract the anti-labor bias is the focus of this book. It looks at the media battle behind the most important successful national strike in recent years by the International Brotherhood of Teamstersagainst the United Parcel Service. The New York Times complained that the problem of the strike was that the public believed that the strike was about “part time” work.
