Struggles of Municipal Workers - films

Sunday, 25 April 2004
7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Organizer: Reelwork Mayday Labor Film Festival

You are invited to take part in a night of film about the organizing municipal workers who fought for their rights at livable earnings and won.

On Sunday, April 25, 2004 at 7pm in the Erica Schilling Forum at Cabrillo College in Aptos, Reelwork Mayday Labor Film Festival will be showing two movies which were picked to represent two successful struggles of municipal workers.

A Day’s Work, A Day’s Pay documents recipients of New York City’s welfare-to-work program and their fight for effective aid.

At the River I Stand is an historic documentary of the struggle of Memphis municipal workers and has been described as "one of the most clearheaded, evenhanded documentaries about the civil rights movement you'll ever see.” Also speaking will be Cliff Leo Tillman, Jr., the executive director of the SEIU Local 415.

The Reelwork Mayday Labor Film Festival shows films around every May Day about the ongoing struggles workers worldwide have gone through, and the victories they have won. Movies are shown this from Sunday, April 25th to Saturday, May 1st, at a variety of public venues.

For more information, including volunteer opportunities, please contact Paul Ortiz at 459-5583 and portiz@ucsc.edu, or www.reelwork.org for a detailed schedule of the event festival.
