Rick Smith Labor Show Visits Teamsters Joint Council 13
Updated On: Jul 09, 2013

The Rick Smith Labor show took his show on the road called  “The Peoples Tour” came to St. Louis to visit Teamsters Joint Council 13. In 2005, The Rick Smith Show stepped into a local radio world devoid of progressive talk.  Rick took his straight shooting no nonsense Teamster outlook to the air and started mixing it up with conservatives from one of the reddest areas north of the Mason Dixon line. His show grew steadily, attracting listeners starved for a voice that spoke to working stiffs who felt the economic floor crumbling beneath them. He feels the calling to spread the word about the desperate needs facing workers, and to make the world a better place for kids growing up in what is becoming an America of rich and poor.

Teamsters Joint Council 13 President Marvin Kropp stated that when he got the call from the IBT about the show possibly visiting St. Louis the Joint Council gladly accepted the invite. It was great to see someone from the other side of the aisle speak up for working people across this country said Kropp. The tour covered over nineteen cities and states from Pennsylvania to California.  While here Rick interviewed Eastern Missouri Retirees club President Ron Gushleff, Ed Finkelstein from the St. Louis Labor Tribune and Roy Gillespie from our Joint Council 13 Human Rights Commission.
