Bill Resnick interviews Mark Brenner on the manufactured PERS crisis and the larger real crisis of pensions, with most Americans having little more than Social Security when they retire. Mark Brenner, PhD, is an economist, journalist, labor activist and career instructor at the Labor and Research Center at University of Oregon. He was a past co-director of Labor Notes, a Detroit based non-profit dedicated to “putting the movement back into the labor movement.”

Mark Brenner and Bill Reznik are spot on with their evauation of PERS. I appreciate their comments and hope to hear more from Mark on this and other shows. Would like to hear him on OPB's Think Ot Loud as well.
