Rural Small-Town America Knows How to REALLY Do Some Things!

There are some things rural and small-town America just knows how to do.

We support our high school sports. Friday nights still matter. The players, coaches, cheerleaders, band members, parents, grandparents, and half the town show up because those kids belong to all of us.

We remember our fallen heroes. We don't forget the people who served their communities, or the families who still carry their loss.

And we remember our local history, especially our labor union history. The mines, mills, factories, railroads, farms, and trades that built our communities weren't powered by billionaires sitting in boardrooms. They were built by working people, and many of the wages, benefits, and protections we have today were fought for by union men and women who came before us.

This week, Pickup Trucks & Progress tells two of those stories.

Our labor history isn't ancient history. It's the story of our families, our communities, and much of what built rural America.

Take a few minutes and read both.

And if you think these are stories worth telling, please share them with your friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors.
