SYNOPSIS:
It's Labor Day, even in the South — the region of the country that has long been most hostile to workers' rights. From slavery through Jim Crow, from "Right to Work" laws aimed at weakening unions to low or nonexistent minimum wages, right-wing leaders in the South have long conspired to disempower labor. But in recent years a few fights — and some high-profile wins — have shown there's life in the Southern labor movement. In this week's holiday-abbreviated episode, we look at the state of play on the shop floor.
