Currently presented by Bill Deller and Lalitha Chelliah. Produced by Pat Bruce.
The Saturday morning 3CR timeslot has a proud history of coverage of union issues and industrial disputes. Preceded by the Strikeback Show and Par Avion, the Saturday morning presenters have included trade union leaders, activists, radical intellectuals and ratbag troublemakers – sometimes all four!
Solidarity Breakfast covers industrial current affairs and issues from a rank and file unionist perspective, with a focus on the broad labour movement and democratic struggle - both locally & internationally.
Discussion and interviews with experts on bigger picture matters; global capitalism/workers rights, hotbeds of democratic insurrection and struggle.
Serious coverage is broken up with 5 minutes of satire by Kevin Healy, with “The Week That Was”.
Join us at 7:30AM each week. And for your turn on Talkback call in on 9419 0155 at 8:30AM.
