"Harlan County, U.S.A." should be required viewing for every non-management worker in this nation.

The more things change the more they stay the same. I've been watching this film about the coal miner strike of 1973-74. These workers were so brave and willing to give everything to stand up for their rights. How far we have come that the technology miners of the information age likely would not see exploitation in their employment environment reflected back to them from this film.

Please view this if you haven't.
