Program 33 - Films from the Frontlines! Salute to NY District Council of Carpenters, TWU Local 100 and National TWU members, Screening TWU shorts, CWA vs. AT&T Mobility, The Coal Minority, and A Day's Work.

Bullies - This fascinating and disturbing animation from the Corporate Campaign veterans, who fought hard to let the world know about the nasty anti-labor practices of Coca-Cola, tells the story of the Real Estate Board of NY and how they manipulate the high rents in the city, as well as siphon tax credits meant for affordable housing into other uses and not more affordable apartments. The film also claims that the REBNY has been instrumental in the explosion of non-union building and construction, much of which has led to unnecessary construction worker deaths due to negligence and lack of safety standards on a union job.
