What explains the attacks against government employees and are any of them warranted? On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation about public workers.

What else do we need to know? Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. Whether you're a public or private sector worker, what do you make of the claims we're hearing about pay and pensions? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
