Check out my debate on Fox News today on a “power panel” with Steven Malanga of the right wing Manhattan Institute and Tracy Byrnes, Fox business correspondent. Megyn Kelly was pretty fair as the moderator, I thought.
My favorite moment was when Malanga said he didn’t feel “oppressed” by not being a member of a union.
My least favorite? Having three irate voicemail messages on my machine when I returned to my office twenty minutes later. One woman screamed at me for having messy hair!
As the booking producer pointed out, this proves at least people were watching. He said this show has more than one million viewers. Scary! Please leave a comment.
Ms Haimson,
I liked your presentation and appreciate your views. It is not easy to be in the “brian washing”Fox show; Tracy is a hyper argumentative individual poor performance, no arguments; “Labor cost and uncapped benefits” non-sense; Tracy does not seem to know the structure of corporate costs or profits; How much money did Tracy get for her bru ha ha As for “how much Wall Street works”; Tracy has no idea why middle class is not working …she missed big time; Wall Street created so much mess and work is not about quantity (summers off) but about quality and contribution to our society. Wall Street hand in hand with their friends in DC created the biggest mega crisis that we are still in; We would have been better off if they did not show up for work at all; The billionaires humiliated work force in private sector in any possible way they could; now they hire some loud people (Tracy) to defend the abuse of basic rights; The Unions are necessary in order to defend our basic rights.
Sincerely, MP
Leonie,
You did a fantastic job. The jobs aren’t going overseas because of unions; they’re going overseas because of greed. Plus, what do such jobs have to do with public sector jobs? Are police officers, for example, competing with Chinese workers for their jobs?
