Mountain Talk Monday Every Tuesday!

This week on Mountain Talk we hear from tobacco farm workers on strike in Garrard County, Kentucky. The seven workers - from the states of Nayarit and Hidalgo Mexico - are here as a part of the H2A guest-worker visa program, and called a strike due to violations of their contract. Mountain people are no strangers to patterns of in and out-migration for work, or to histories of strikes demanding better pay and safer working conditions. WMMT's Rachel Garringer and Elizabeth Sanders host this episode and we hear stories from these striking workers.
