Description

No single industry in the American economy relies more on immigrant labor than livestock and meat production. The shift began a half-century ago as the influence of labor unions, and wages, declined. Fred de Sam Lazaro reports on how this change has played out in one Minnesota community that witnessed a landmark strike 40 years ago.
