Course Description: Participants will view labor history as portrayed in film, discuss that history and learn how it may be applicable today in the recent desire for unions by Starbucks and Amazon employees amongst others. The instructor will provide anecdotal context from being a union activist for decades, and students will be encouraged to share their reactions and experiences. A lively discussion is expected and participants will have a greater understanding of what a labor union is, what it can and cannot do, and view how accurately it is portrayed in film.
