When the Plant Closed (w/ Carla Shultz & Laura Flanders)
The Mylan pharmaceutical plant in Morgantown, West Virginia, has been in operation since 1965. On July 31, the plant closed. In this mini-cast, we talk to Carla Shultz, who worked at the plant for 13 years, and legendary journalist Laura Flanders, who reported on the plant closure on The Laura Flanders Show, about the efforts to keep the plant open and what it will mean for working people in Morgantown and beyond if those efforts are unsuccessful.
