Bread and Roses

Posted on August 17, 2018 by Village Vidiot

Good and well meaning, if predictable, Ken Loach film about janitors organizing a union in LA It’s a good palliative to these anti-union, anti-immigrant, anti-worker times, but in the end, its still pretty tame. Nicely acted and fun. Postscript:. Funny, I used this movie in my Labor History class in 2002 and it evoked incredibly powerful responses from the students. Some loved it, some were furious that an organizer has an affair with a worker. Really intense stuff, and I must admit, I enjoyed it more the second time I saw it. Amazing to use this in relation to the janitors’ strike. Si se puede!. See this one!
