Behind The Lens episode 237: ‘A union victory’

Marta Jewson on Lycée Français charter school's teachers union victory. And Delaney Dryfoos on both industry and activists taking aim at the EPA.
by Carolyne Heldman

This week on Behind The Lens, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is getting heat from both sides in Louisiana, with industry proponents decrying recent moves by the agency to tighten pollution controls, and environmentalists threatening to sue the agency for not doing enough. And there is now a union of teachers and staff at local charter school Lycée Français, after an overwhelming yes vote on May 13.  

Our guests this week are Lens reporters Delaney Dryfoos and Marta Jewson.
