Coming up this Thursday morning on Central Vermont Community Radio — historic and modern struggles of the labor movement in Vermont, and how we find out about what's happening in our communities through local news at a time of cutbacks.
9:00 - 10:00 am
No movement has fought harder for leisure time, like we can enjoy during the holiday season -- than the labor movement. Today, workers are struggling to hold onto the gains won by those that came before them. Liz Medina, director of the Vermont Labor Council, AFL-CIO, will talk about what the folks who brought you the weekend are up to in Vermont, and how you can be a part of labor history, too. This previews a talk she'll give at the Capital City Grange on Saturday, December 3 at 5 pm—all are welcome to that, too, in person or on Zoom.
