DESCRIPTION:Watsonville on Strike (65 min.) (1989) Directed by Jon Silver\nWith Jon 
 Silver & Frank Barnacke\n In September 1985, 1,500 Teamster-organized, 
 mostly immigrant women cannery workers walked out on the two largest frozen 
 food companies in the United States — Watsonville Canning and Richard A. 
 Shaw Frozen Foods in Watsonville, California. This was known as the 
 “frozen food capital of the world”. The workers faced not only 
 companies who wanted major concessions but also a white union leadership 
 who did not speak Spanish and who accused them of not being union 
 members.\n This historic and powerful video “Watsonville on Strike” 
 hears the voices of these workers and their struggle for justice and 
 control of their own union. The strike lasted 17 months revealing the 
 contradictions in management and the unions.\n It also shows the internal 
 struggle in the union against the push for a concession contract and the 
 role of solidarity.\n Joining film maker Jon Silver after the screening 
 will be Frank Barnacke, who was a farmworker, and is author of Trampling 
 Out the Vintage: Cesar Chavez and the Two Souls of the United Farm 
 Workers.\nhttps://www.ejumpcut.org/archive/onlinessays/JC35folder/WatsonvilleStrike.html\nSee
