ARNE DUNCAN AND THE DONE DEAL

next Labor Beat -- beginning Thurs, Jan. 27

The show's title segment is "Arne Duncan and the Done Deal", which is the first of two segments. This is an edited-down piece about what essentially happened at the
Dec. 9 Senn HS/Community "dialogue" with Arne Duncan over the Navy Academy proposal. The core of the segment is when Duncan (Mayor Daley's puppet on the School Board) is interrogated (nailed down) to where he admits basically that he has already made
up his mind about how the School Board is going to vote on Dec. 15. So Senn H.S. supporters that night learned that there wasn't going to be any 'process' of 'sharing' views
and 'democratically' arriving at a decision. It was a done deal.

One revelation followed upon another as we watch Democrat Congresswoman Jan Shakowski bare her bourgeois fangs and declare that she had "no philosophical objection to having a Navy Academy at Senn High School." The footage shows the significant development of Shakowski
getting booed and hissed by her core demographic.

This show, combined with our previous show on the big CFL-sponsored rally of city workers demanding a contract, illustrate how Democratic Party politicians, lined up from the national, city, and ward level, are ganging up on Chicago's working families.

The second segment of this show is a talk at a recent Chicago Labor Against the War forum given by VVAW national coordinator Bill Davis (who is also president of Machinist Local 701, but not appearing in that capacity). Davis dwells upon how the military tries unscrupulously to recruit youth.
