Labor Film Series

 
In case you have free time, Sunday afternoon movie viewing (from an emailed press release): 

The SIUC Labor Coalition, representing all four IEA locals on campus,
is very pleased to announce a film series entitled "Viewing Issues of
Labor and Capital." The series will feature three film screenings and
follow-up discussions (along with refreshments!) on three Sunday
afternoons over the next three months: July 17, August 14, and
September 18. All screenings will be held at the Varsity Center for
the Arts at 2 pm. The films to be screened are:

July 17: Bread and Roses: based upon the fight by industrial workers
(SEIU) in Los Angeles for better working conditions and the right to
unionize
August 14: Inside Job: an award-winning documentary on the inner
workings of the economic meltdown of 2008
Sept 18: Struggles in Steel: African American steel workers speak
about their struggle for fair treatment in the steel industry
