DESCRIPTION:FIVE FILMS \n\n\nMOTHER JONES: America’s Most Dangerous Woman \n\nThe 
 life of Mother Jones, one of the most famous Irish born labor activists in 
 the U.S., was brutal. 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 by Rosemary Feurer 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.

 AUSTRALIA \n\nThis film by the Maritime Union Austalia (MUA) film unit is 
 about the fight by the MUA ship crew of the MT Stolt who tried 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 for 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.

 RAILROAD \n\nThis is the story of the railroad worker union's fight against 
 the privatization of Japan Rail. The union is called Doro-Chiba, short for 
 the National Railway Motive Power Union of Chiba. Chiba is a city with a 
 huge international port near Tokyo.

 CHRISTMAS CAROL \n\nThe rail and Tube (BART) cleaners of the Rail and 
 Maritime Transport Union (RMT) in the U.K. were seriously underpaid with 
 wages at $5.35 per hour. They waged a campaign for decent wages, at least 
 $7.05. This film by Chris Kasrils shows how their campaign for a living 
 wage runs up against scrooge.
