Award-winning Investigative Journalist Robert Parry (1949-2018)

Award-winning investigative journalist and founder/editor of ConsortiumNews.com, Robert Parry has passed away. His ground-breaking work uncovering Reagan-era dirty wars in Central America and many other illegal and immoral policies conducted by successive administrations and U.S. intelligence agencies, stands as an inspiration to all in journalists working in the public interest.

Robert had been a regular guest on our Between The Lines and Counterpoint radio shows -- and many other progressive outlets across the U.S. over four decades.

His penetrating analysis of U.S. foreign policy and international conflicts will be sorely missed, and not easily replaced. His son Nat Parry writes a tribute to his father: Robert Parry’s Legacy and the Future of Consortiumnews.

"What we're seeing from these unions that are willing to put some money into the (low-wage workers movement) is an awareness that we need a new (workplace organizing) model. The one that we had since 1935 is gone, it doesn't work fundamentally anymore."

– Sarah Jaffe, journalist and fellow at The Nation Institute, on the role of labor unions in the new low wage workers protest movement

In more than 220 cities across the U.S., some 60,000 low-wage workers and their supporters joined marches and protests on April 1 to demand a $15 minimum hourly wage. The action, where many workers walked off their jobs, is said to be the largest protest by low-wage workers in U.S. history. Employees from fast food restaurants and retail stores, well as home healthcare aides and childcare workers participated in the day of action, which was primarily organized by the Service Employees International Union, or SEIU.  Story continues
