- Summary:
- Through the lens of Colorado's deadly coal wars, A Workplace of Their Own examines how miners and their families struggled to gain control of their workplace and their homes against powerful operators, particularly John D. Rockefeller, Jr., reformer Josephine Roche, and more radical advocates, like Mother Jones and the IWW. This episode in labor-management relations sheds light on ongoing issues related to workers and power in an industrial democracy.
