A Chicken Farm, the Union and a Priest

“This American Life” has a great story about a poultry plant in North Carolina, and the efforts of labor to organize. A labor representative sought the help of the local Episcopal priest. A manager of the plant was a member of the parish. The labor rep hoped the pastor could bring the Gospel into the discussion and influence the manager.

You have to listen to the podcast. It displays so many of the tensions that exist in the Church and the world. You can skip the first two acts by moving 25 minutes into the broadcast.
