Mountain Talk Monday Every Tuesday!

"There's four words a girl loves to hear," said Cynthia Nicholson at a December rally outside the Tudor's Biscuit World location where she works. "Tudor's biscuits and unions." In West Virginia, Tudor’s Biscuit World is widely beloved, part of the fabric of the state’s heritage. Many will say a strong labor movement is in their heritage, too. When the workers at one store in Elkview, a small town outside of Charleston, decided to start a union, it made waves throughout the state. Katie Myers visits workers at the store to hear them, in their own words, tell their story. Music in this episode is "Everybody's Favorite," by John Herrod, from June Appal Recordings. This story is part of the “America Amplified” initiative. America Amplified is a national public media collaboration focused on community engagement reporting.
