Today's DN! Program is airing in-depth coverage of the Teachers Strike in West Virginia that is expanding to other education employees and states like Oklahoma. Universities in Britain have also been advocating for better conditions. Issues at stake involve stagnant pay and salary, reduced benefits, and general erosion of support for education. The movement is gaining wide community support from educators, students, parents, churches, the general public and more.
Guests interviewed are WV teachers, national education leaders, British professors and other activists.
A special focus on the state of West Virginia's long, one hundred year history of fighting for workers and labor rights, especially in the coal mining industry is included.
