	Description:		West Virginia teachers went on strike last week for the first time in nearly thirty years. Jake Zuckerman and Sarah Jones talk about their recent reporting on the historic walkout. They discuss what teachers are demanding, and why the strike is technically illegal according to state law. Zuckerman’s latest article in The Charleston Gazette-Mail is "WV Senate, House at odds over pay raise bill; teacher strike to continue" Jones’ recent article in The New Republic is "The West Virginia Teachers’ Strike Takes Aim at Coal and Gas." This segment is guest hosted by DW Gibson.
