On this episode of the Stuck Nation Labor Radio Hour, retired FDNY EMT Marianne Pizzitola, president of the New York City Organization of Public Service Retirees, joins attorney Micheal Barasch and FDNY Deputy Chief Jim Brosi, president of the FDNY UFOA to discuss the impact of major cuts  to the 9/11 WTC Health Program.

The program is currently serving over 140,000 first responders and civilians many of whom suffer from multiple 9/11 WTC ailments including cancer. 

We also talk with Newark Mayor Ras Baraka who makes his case for why Democrats should  back for his gubernatorial run ahead of the June 10 primary.
