Do you know the history behind company towns? President Bennett does & compares our country right now to the exploitative labor practices from the 20th century.

Company towns were communities where nearly all stores, housing, and public services are owned by a single dominant employer or corporation. Company Towns would weaponize resources like housing, spy on workers with private security, and suppress the right of free speech and assembly.

We're grateful to our Union brothers and sisters that came before us in Oklahoma, and across, the country to protect workers' rights for generations to come. Today, we move forward with that same commitment.
