We all are busy with the anticipation of the 2024 Election in America.  Please enjoy this replay from the My Labor Radio archives.

It is an interview with Mr. Phil Kelley. I met him through my membership in the UAW, he was only working around me, in my local for about 20 years. I thought I knew a lot about him. When Covid started he was retired and living in Colorado.  I interviewed him to talk about his young life and how he volunteered for service in Viet Nam! What I got, what I learned, was an amazing story of America in the 1960's and beyond. Complete with stories of his racist families ties to the Klan.

We hope you enjoy this replay, thanks for listening.
