UNION MAIDS
Sunday, March 28, 7:00pm
Union Maids is an appealing documentary about three women involved in the workers’ movements in the early 1930′s. These women vividly tell us the way it was back then when they and other people risked jobs and lives attempting to organize trade unions amid the textile factories and meat producers of Chicago in order to remedy injustices to the factory workers. The film relates the workers’ movement to the continuing struggle for equality for women, and there are comments on the unions of the 1970′s as being too conservative. Some of the music is by Woody Guthrie as sung by crusader-singer Pete Seeger.
