Labor Day Weekend In Clark Park --

Two films that explore local workplace organizing experiences:

Yo! Taxi

- a firsthand account of the real issues, struggles and circumstances on the job from members of the Unified Taxi Workers Alliance of Pennsylvania. Taxi workers of diverse backgrounds and ethnicities share stories of their lives allowing the passenger (or viewer) to get behind the driver¹s seat and better understand who is at the wheel. 2009; 28 minutes

Welcoming Change at the Philadelphia Museum of Art

- Part documentary and partly a direct message to Timothy Rub, the incoming director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the video features the voice of four security guards who are a part of a campaign to win workplace reforms at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. This effort resulted in the formation of an independent labor union, the PSOU, which is now negotiating their first contract at the museum. 2009; 14 minutes

Join an open discussion afterwards with TWA President Ronald Blount and vice-president Femi Olanyi plus PSOU Representative Lashan Stewart.

Film showings are free. Bring a chair or blanket. In event of rain, go to Calvary Church, 48th & Baltimore.
