BUILDING BRIDGES: YOUR COMMUNITY AND LABOR REPORT presents a Women's History Month / International Working Women's Day special:

Karen Silkwood was a courageous woman. She died doing what she thought was right: protecting the lives of her coworkers and the public. It was her concern about the dangerous health and safety working conditions at Kerr-McGee Nuclear Corporation's facility in Oklahoma that prompted her activism and willingness to challenge irresponsible corporate behavior.

Remembering Silkwood's legacy in this 58-minute radio special report are many who fought with her to make the company's irresponsibly behavior an issue for her coworkers and the public at large. They include Tony Mazzocchi, then-Legislative Director of the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers Union, OCAW lawyer Steve Wodka and environmental activist Kitty Tucker. Joining them in this special tribute will be actress Meryl Streep, who helped immortalize this real-life drama in the film Silkwood.
