My name is mark trumbull, economy editor of the Christian Science monitor. Welcome to our guests. Todays guest is liz schuler of the aflcio. She is the president of the Labor Federation and we are very glad to have you with us again as another Labor Day Weekend rolls around. A little background, president schuler grew up in a union household. Her father was a power lineman and longtime member of the electrical workers local 125 at Portland General Electric in oregon. Her mother worked in the companys service and design department. Ms. Schuler attended the university of oregon and i might insert my own go ducks here, since that is the alma mater of my fatherinlaw.
