DESCRIPTION:UNION TIME: Fighting for Workers' Rights (Matthew Barr, 2016, 86min, 
 USA)\n\nOne of the greatest union victories of the 21st century was the 15 
 year fight to organize Smithfield Foods' pork processing plant in Tar Heel, 
 North Carolina. From 1993 to 2008, workers struggled against dangerous 
 working conditions, intimidation, and low pay. They were organized by the 
 United Food and Commercial Workers Union, whose "Justice for Smithfield 
 Workers" campaign brought national attention to the plight of the plant 
 workers, and ultimately fair working conditions for 5,000 
 workers.\n\nSpeaker: Dana Frank, Professor of labor history at 
 UCSC\n\nPresented as part of the Reel Work May Day Labor Film Festival in 
 recognition of Workers' Memorial Day.\n
