Studs Terkel at the Steel Mill

Description
Produced by The Public Interest Video Network. Terkel talks to Alice Peurala in South Chicago about the troubles steel mill workers are facing and the negative impact of Reagan’s presidency. Peurala stresses solidarity for workers. Terkel likens the current situation at the mill (it is refusing new applications) to the situation during the Great Depression. Peurala predicts disaster for the country if workers are further and further disadvantaged by Reagan’s policies.
