In June, the Government Accountability Project released a report detailing widespread racial discrimination at the World Bank. This was followed, literally days later, by reports that racial slurs were posted inside the Bank walls, evidently by a staffer. What’s going on here? WWYW details why the Bank’s internal justice system isn’t equipped to properly handle racial discrimination cases, and how this system of allowing racism undermines the mission of the organization. Joining us are Bea Edwards of GAP and Wamara Mwine, reporter for the National Examiner.
Then, we sit down with former FAA Manager Gabe Bruno, who alleged that the FAA lacks a national security screening mechanism for certain mechanics that received fraudulent certificates from a Designated Mechanic Examiner (DME), but have refused to, or failed to fully complete, a recertification program. This failure creates a security vulnerability that leaves the aviation industry open to potential terrorist activity. For his disclosure, Bruno was harassed and forced into early retirement.
These segments were filmed in late July 2009, and March 2009, respectively.
