"Hanging Iron After The Quake of '89" is a 30 minute documentary that recounts the story of the Loma Prieta Earthquake which struck the bay area on October 17, 1989, and how organized labor played a major role in saving lives on the collapsed Cypress Freeway and in rebuilding the collapse section of the East Bay section of the San Francisco Bay Bridge in 30 days. This is the story of two unions in particular-the Iron Workers and Operating Engineers who worked around the clock to get the Bay Area back on its feet.
