The movie stars ordinary workers who take on one of the largest corporations in the world and win. You can view the movie trailer here: Union | Trailer | NYFF62 - YouTube.
The night will start with a panel discussion led by the Rev. Dr. Gail Kinney, a National Writers Union (NWU) member and chair of the economic justice ministry of the NH Conference United Church of Christ. The panel will include New Hampshire union members from The Teamsters, Starbucks Workers United, and the Freelance Solidarity Project/NWU. Speakers will discuss union organizing and the challenges facing New Hampshire workers.
We are screening the movie as a way to engage Granite Staters in the labor movement and the struggles faced by workers throughout the state. It comes at a vital time. Public approval of unions has been growing nationwide, as have the ranks of union-curious workers. This is all in the face of massive corporate resistance, union busting strategies and government efforts to stymie unionization.
