The Museum of Classic Chicago Television (www.FuzzyMemories.TV) | WGN Channel 9 - Charlando - "Wisconsin Steel Works Closure" (Complete Broadcast, 7/26/1980) 📺 @FuzzyMemoriesTV | Uploaded 6 months ago | Updated 2 hours ago
Here's a complete broadcast of a program for the Spanish-speaking community of the Chicagoland area, Charlando, a presentation of WGN Community Affairs and aired over WGN Channel 9. The host is Peter Nuno, his guests are Robert Rodriguez, union delegate of the Progressive Steel Workers Union and Wisconsin Steel Works, concerned housewife Helen Gutierrez, and Ignacio Sanchez, former employee of Wisconsin Steel Works, the topic is the March 1980 closure of the Wisconsin Steel Works plant in southeast Chicago where 3,400 workers lost their jobs and the effect that closure has had thus far on the community, and the program, except for the first opening voiceover at the beginning and the ending voiceover, is entirely in Spanish, as are the PSA's (but not the lower thirds).
Can anyone supply a complete translation of the program?
