DESCRIPTION:Race To The Bottom (20 m) US 2008\nBy Jonathan King, Michael Hamm\nThis 
 story is about the 2,000 independent truck drivers working at the Port of 
 Oakland, The film gives us a look into the lives of the drivers and their 
 struggles to earn a living wage, support their families, and stay healthy 
 as they do their jobs, transporting goods in and out of the port. It also 
 shows their efforts to build a community coalition to protect their jobs 
 and their health and make their voices heard.\n\nTanaka-San Will Not Do 
 Calisthenics (75 min.) 2008 Australia\nBy Maree Delofski\nThis striking 
 film shows the struggle of Japanese Oki Electric Manufacturing worker and 
 singer Tetsuro Tanaka. Tanaka refused to accept the militarization of his 
 job through calisthenics and the mind control of the company. As result, he 
 is harassed and fired by the company. Rather than giving up, he decides to 
 sing every day in front of the factory. He has continued this battle for 28 
 years, and in the process, has exposed the nature of this corporate 
 management system. Tanaka has been to LaborFest before, and his music 
 continues to ring out. His words “Never import the corporate fascism of 
 Japan!” continue to have meaning.\nSee
