The United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) announced the strike, which began the night of April 1, will continue, as will negotiations with the company. “Our members made it clear that the tentative agreement was not sufficient enough to make up for the sacrifices made in 2016,” International President Cecil E. Roberts said."

Blair LM Kelley, director of The Center for the Study of the American South at the University of North Carolina, joins to discuss her recent book Black Folk: The Roots of the Black Working Class. https://twitter.com/profblmkelley?lang=en https://south.unc.edu/ https://wwnorton.com/books/9781631496554 Kelley walks Emma through the role of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the designation of “essential” workers, in bringing the problem of proper compensation and fair working conditions for Black and POC Americans back to the fore. Next, Kelley looks at the industry of domestic labor as a central institution in the stunting of labor rights and conditions for Black and POC Americans – particularly women – before wrapping up with the myth of the “Working Class Trump Voter” and the intense intersection between labor and citizenship in the topic at hand.
