DESCRIPTION:Five labor films for tonight:\n(1) Video: "Mother Jones: The Most Dangerous 
 Woman in America" by Rosemary Feurer, Laura Vasquez \nMother Jones, one of 
 the most famous Irish born labor activists in the US had a brutal life. Her 
 5 children died in a yellow fever epidemic in Memphis, Tennessee. She then 
 moved to Chicago and during the Chicago fire she lost her home, shop and 
 all her belongings. In her late 50’s she began to struggle for workers 
 rights with the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) and helped organize 
 strikes and marches including marches to protest child labor. This powerful 
 video tells her story and the fight for rank and file power that she stood 
 for. Rose will also discuss her new book Radical Unionism In the Midwest 
 1900-1950. \n(2) Stolt Australia: A video by the Maritime Union Austalia 
 (MUA) film unit about the fight by MUA ship crew of the MT Stolt who to 
 keep it from being reflagged with the resulting destruction of jobs. The 
 crew debates whether to take up the fight and what it means from them and 
 the workers in the rest of the industry. The need for solidarity was 
 clearly the decisive factor in making this a victory for the crew and the 
 union.\n(3) We Live On the Railroad: This is the story of the fight against 
 privatization of JR (Japan Rail) by railroad workers union.\n(4) The 
 Cleaners Christmas Carol: Rail and tube cleaners campaign by the UK RMT for 
 decent wages (a living wage of  £7.05 per hour). The living wage campaign 
 goes against Scrooge.\n(5) Hola Australia:  Australian wharfies win a trip 
 to Cuba and learn about fellow maritime workers as well as the healthcare 
 system of the country. This first hand look at the healthcare in Cuba and 
 how it operates\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2007/06/30/18431959.php
