To celebrate new hybrid equipment for our offices at Crawford House, we will be using the big screen to host UMUCU’s first ever film night on Thu 7 November from 4pm (film starts 4.30pm), followed by drinks in SandBar from 5.30pm.
The film is a 45m documentary about one of the high points of trade union history, the rank and file organised ‘Teamster Rebellion’ in Minneapolis in 1934. This was a mass strike which won big on pay and union recognition, unionised the town, and ultimately led to winning the legal right to collective bargaining across the U.S. This fascinating and inspiring documentary was made back in 1980 and features interviews with people who actually participated in the strikes.
Directions: Crawford House, Booth Street East, under the tunnel opposite the Aquatics Centre, door on right, then first door on left when inside.
If you can’t make it on the 7th but are interested in watching the film you can find it here
