In this present day, when labor gets a bad name, it is good to be reminded that there was a time when conditions were horrific, and it took brave women (and men) like Mother Jones to improve workers' lives.KGMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165941950953938943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-12692814288855975452009-09-09T09:00:00.994-04:002009-09-09T09:00:00.994-04:00There's a lot of folks fighting mountain-top r...There's a lot of folks fighting mountain-top removal coal mining who find inspiration from Mother Jones.

I have to agree with Betsy's comment. Our farmers in southern Ontario cannot get local workers to pick crops and have to bring in workers from Mexico and Central America. One of our local farmers who has a large orchard spoke at a meeting recently and said he pays more for Mexican workers because he has to pay minimum wage plus housing and basic health coverage for them.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15892804871759397018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-87586465900552374062009-09-07T21:54:07.857-04:002009-09-07T21:54:07.857-04:00I didn't know about Mother Jones - thanks for ...I didn't know about Mother Jones - thanks for the education!abbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08879476262337290531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-53273455938257541772009-09-07T16:41:19.395-04:002009-09-07T16:41:19.395-04:00I've never heard of Mother Jones.

How about... if I still had 10th or 7th grade American History, would you be willing to come up to Bluff Country as a guest speaker? Teenagers will sometimes say "history is boring" but they listen real good when people speak from the heart.

We Americans don't want to work like they used to, do we???? They say that is why so many people have come to America for a better life. THEY are willing to work in the fields and the factories --while we sit around thinking that that kind of work is demeaning. <br /><br />God Bless Mother Jones and those like her who helped make OUR lives better.<br /><br />have a great day.<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-38672344550538689092009-09-07T10:29:39.887-04:002009-09-07T10:29:39.887-04:00Thanks for the interesting and informative post on...Thanks for the interesting and informative post on Mother Jones.
