God bless the people and shame on the scabs:

[sjpro01]

What a fabulous story! The documentarian was right: those women were strong.

God Bless Eula Hall !!

Yes scabs need work too. But the role they play hurts all workers. When companies bust unions, wages are suppressed for ALL workers. So scabs, while in need of work, are hurting the working class

[macditty]

@MikeCDawg this is about so much more thn a 'scab' taking a job, this is about union corruption, politics, murder for hire, and money. the money the scabs get is nothing but for a lot of them they have a shady past that might stop them from getting a good paying job so they have to scab while your union screws everyone on the deal they cut

[MikeCDawg]

@macditty Yet scabs are crossing picket lines and helping give the company its profits in a time where the union is vulnerable.

[macditty]

scabs need work too idiot, screw the unions. its the gun thugs that are the trouble not the scabs or workers

@vontrop Hi. I can't tell you what Sudie was talking about, but that's not a "corn oil light", it's a "coal oil light". Coal oil lights were common in the poor parts of the country, not just the south. I grew up in central Illinois and we burned it for light when I was a kid as we had no electricity. It smelled bad when you poured it in the lamp and worse when it burned! :)

A really great film. Those women were tough - I'd hate to run into them on a bad day. Lois rocked!

[ThisWillLeaveaMark]

Everyone should see this film. It's been running on the IFC channel on cable. There's no narration. Only the words and actions of the miners and their families are heard. The people tell the entire story. It's a unique and very interesting film.

if there is a southern person out there that can explain to me what sudie crusenburg

says in the full length movie (google video harlan county usa) i would appreciate it

it is at 1 hour and 30 seconds - something about corn oil light and stove irons
