Cowboy Union

NPR
Published January 18, 1996 at 11:00 PM CST

Cowboys are synomymous with rugged individualism. But those who ride for money at the rodeo are finding the cowboy way doesn't necessarily pay. The riders say the professional rodeo association that runs the rodeos isn't looking out for their interests. NPR's Mark Roberts reports on the riders' plans to form their own union.
