DESCRIPTION:UNION TIME: Fighting For Workers' Rights, 2016 (86 min.) U.S.A.\nFilmWorks 
 United International Working Class Film & Video Festival\nDirected by 
 Matthew Barr. Narrated by Danny Glover\n In 1993, a group of employees at 
 the Smithfield Pork Processing Plant in Tar Heel, North Carolina, began to 
 work with the United Food and Commercial Workers Union to organize the 
 5,000 workers at the plant. In 2008, after a 16-year-long struggle, they 
 won the right to form a union. Jobs in meatpacking are among the most 
 dangerous in the country. Once dominated by skilled butchers working in 
 unionized jobs, the industry gradually moved packing plants to rural areas 
 in right-to-work states. What used to be respected as skilled labor is now 
 broken down into assembly-line tasks, with workers—many of them African 
 American or immigrant often treated as expendable. Dangerous conditions, 
 wage theft, intimidation, and abuse are rampant. Union Time weaves together 
 labor rights and civil rights to show how unions can be a potent force for 
 economic and social justice. Above all, it celebrates the courage of 
 meatpacking workers who refused to give up through a 16-year-long 
 struggle.\nSee also http://www.laborfest.net/wp/\n
