    CBS News Labor Day 2024 - Hour 2

    On the Labor Day Special from CBS News Radio hosted by Gil Gross, labor unions are peaking in popularity after decades in decline. And that means we are also seeing more labor strikes over that same time period. Joseph McCartin, professor in the Department of History and the executive director of the Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor at Georgetown University explains why this labor negotiating tool is on the uprise. Gil Gross examines the history of labor through music, profiling the songs and stories that have propelled the labor movement over the decades. Record numbers of journalists are being captured or killed across the globe in recent years. The CEO of The Committee to Protect Journalist Jodie Ginsberg is at the forefront of the effort to keep journalists safe from harm as they conduct their very important work around the world. As the longevity of our lives continues to increase, many retirees are now discovering their second careers and having the time of their lives pursuing their new vocations. Mike Cerre, founder of Nexttracks, tells the story of a man whose love of music and passion for travel led him over a thousand miles south from wintery Minnesota to the hotspots of Havana. Finally, business leaders are trying to woo workers back to the office, while many are reluctant to change their work-from-home lifestyle. LA Times reporter Don Lee has researched the productivity of remote workers, hybrid workers, and the old Nine-to-Fivers, to see which scenario is the most productive.
