An NPR story referred to the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), my former employer, as "labor backed." While EPI does get about one-fifth of its funding from unions, NPR does not ordinarily identify organizations for the funding. For example, the Concord Coalition or the Peter Peterson Foundation are never identified as "Wall Street backed."
