In this edition of Labor Lines, Roger Clayman, Executive Director of the Long Island Federation of Labor, discusses the major labor battles of 2012 and gives a prognosis for 2013. Next, we interview Jessie Klein, a Sociology Professor from Adelphi University and author of a study that investigated solutions to gun violence that go beyond the banning of assault rifles. Many of the mass murders were committed by mentally ill individuals, alienated from society. She discusses encouraging greater societal cohesion and encouraging communal responses to those in need.
