The TRUTH about Food and Travel
Broadcast Date:  9/2/23 In 1913, 25,000 striking workers from a Patterson, New Jersey silk factory met at the home of Pietro Botto.  By 2023 standards, their demands don't seem too extreme... workers asked for a 40 hour work week, and the elimination of forced child labor.  Their efforts to persuade management to make those changes failed and they went back to work.  Over the next generation as the American labor movement grew, that home became a focal point for the struggles facing all American workers.  Over time concessions were eventually made and labor demands were met.  In the process, the partnership between ownership/management and American labor created the greatest, most productive workforce in the world.   

That modest home at 83 Norwood Street in Haledon, NJ, now serves as the home of the American Labor Museum.  Guests can stand on the Botto living room where striking workers made their modest demands, and look out the balcony where labor leaders addressed the gathered crowds.

On this Labor Day Weekend in 2023, Elizabeth takes us to the American Labor Museum with a message that with honest hard work, coupled with compromise, remains the best path toward reaching the American Dream.  website:  FoodAndTravelNation.com

Broadcast Date:  9/2/23 A bit of a twist on this edition of Servers Revenge. 

Fights are breaking out in restaurants across the country and of course, someone is right there with a phone to capture the moment.  We've watched plenty of them, and as you'll hear, it's not always the customers throwing the punches!  

Plus, we share that magical moment when a classical pianist and an opera singer surprised a lunch crowd at an upscale diner.  website:  FoodAndTravelNation.com

The TRUTH about Food and Travel
Broadcast Date:  9/2/23 Elizabeth has the story of an Amish farmer in a small community in Virginia who provided meat and dairy products to his community.  His customers are also co-owners of the herd, and his role in their tight-knit religious community is to care for and process the meat.  Because his farming practices do not involve the same procedures as the USDA, the Commonwealth of Virginia took action against him.  After months of legal proceedings and a raid on his farm that culminated in the confiscation and destruction of his property, his farm is all but out of business and he is deep in debt.

Once again with these raids on a family-owned farm, the government overreach is clear.  

In addition to illegally seizing the property of Samuel Fisher and the owners of the co-op, the actions by the government is a violation of their expression of their religion and the right to be left alone!

We're outraged by the conduct of the Commonwealth of Virginia, the prosecutors office and the Cumberland County Sheriff's Department... you should be as well. website:  FoodAndTravelNation.com
