Labor actions are exploding across the county and workers are winning historic concessions. To recognize the ongoing struggles we look back at one historic battle of mineworkers in West Virginia who managed to forge alliances across race and nationalities. Movie Moles Joe Clement and Jan Haaken review John Sayles' film, "Matewan,' which documents the fierce fight against the merciless exploitation of mine-workers. The movie is available at Multnomah County Library. This episode originally aired on 3-12-18.
