DESCRIPTION:Three labor films:\n"The Scavengers": In Turkish and Kurdish with English 
 subtitles: Hundreds of people who have been pushed out of their Kurdish 
 village Ördekli Kotran's in Hakkari during 1994 are still in a battle for 
 survival. Their work is collecting paper for recycling from the garbage in 
 the center of Ankara. In 2001, a group of these workers started to video 
 record their daily lives. They documented the suffering as a result of 
 their forced migration and their struggle against unregulated face of 
 capitalism in the capital city of Turkey. Their work tells the story of 
 those people - from a 13 years old child looking after his family in the 
 garbage of Ankara to an old man being dismissed from his village at the age 
 of 60 with their only resources being their labor. Despite forced 
 migration, alienation and degradation, they are proud of what they 
 do.\n\n"Producing Just Garments" 500 workers of the Textile Union STIT are 
 forced to occupy and run their factory after the bosses pulled out in an 
 effort to destroy the union. Forming a workers’ cooperative, they face 
 illegal firings and the might of international capital.\n\n"Labour Days" A 
 Canadian movie which takes us through the history of the company town and 
 how the workers began to organize and fight for their rights. Twenty 
 workers talk about what a union means to them from protecting their 
 healthcare and safety on the job to fighting discrimination and harassment 
 on the job.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2007/06/30/18431936.php
