Thursday morning on Goddard College Community Radio: Working class issues in the 1880s and today, in the US and in Vermont.

9:00 - 10:00 am
The Barre Historical Society is celebrating May Day (they say Primo Maggio, because that's-a-Italian ;-) this Saturday with a special online showing of the new film Haymarket, about the 1886 bombing that disrupted a peaceful rally in support of workers striking for an 8-hour work day. The bombing and violence from the ensuing panic was followed by a crackdown on workers' rights activists. Guests will be Ruth Ruttenberg, president of the Barre Historical Society, and filmmaker Adrian Priwica.

Liz Medina, executive director of the Vermont AFL-CIO state labor council, will talk about the upcoming May Day rally noon to 3 pm, at the State House on Saturday, as well as opportunities for workers to organize and improve their pay and conditions in Vermont and nationally.
