The Detroit newspaper strike has dragged on for over a year against Gannett and Knight Ridder. It's about control. It's about disempowerment of workers in the media. It's about making the press a kept press and depriving any journalist or media worker of any rights. In this dramatic video, workers battle police, tear gas and scabs to block the delivery of the Sunday scab papers.
Workers tell their stories and explain the issues in the strike.
