On Strike at Warrior Met Coal (w/ Jacob Morrison & Lee Bains III)
Last Thursday, around 1,100 coal miners at Warrior Met Coal in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, went on strike. In order to cover this important strike, we've teamed up with our brothers-in-arms Jacob Morrison, cohost of the outstanding Valley Labor Report, and musician Lee Bains III of The Glory Fires. In this special episode, we've compiled clips from Lee's live performance as well as Jacob's interviews on the picket line and at the local union hall. (All music sourced from The Free Music Archive)
