SUMMARY:Film : Pride\, 2014 (120 min.) UK
DESCRIPTION:FilmWorks United International Working Class Film & Video Festival\nDirected by Matthew Warchus (UK)\nThe unity of workers and oppressed minorities is the story of Pride. In a successful effort to break the miners’ union\, former Prime Minister Thatcher decided to force the National Union of Miners out on strike during 1984-1985. This movie encapsulates that strong support the miners and their families had from the people of the UK. The Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) was an alliance of lesbians and gay men who formed in support of the striking British miners during the yearlong UK miners strike. Despite initial and difficult efforts to break through the socially conservative miners’ communities they finally joined together in a common struggle for workers justice and human rights. By the end of the strike there were eleven chapters throughout the UK\, and the miners ended up leading London’s Lesbian and Gay Pride parade in 1985. This powerful story\, through comedy and real history\, tells us how we can build working class unity. \n

SUMMARY:Tom Mooney and Preparedness Day Bombing Walk
DESCRIPTION:With Gifford Hartman\, David Duckworth    \nDuring this walking tour\, we visit several sites\, which were integral to the unfolding of events following a bomb explosion on Steuart Street at Market Street on July 22\, 1916. With fervor building to engage the United States in the war in Europe\, businessmen in San Francisco embraced the cause\, while labor leaders and the left denounced it. With the bomb killing ten people and wounding forty\, no clear culprit was identified. But\, two figures from the left\, labor organizers and anarchists Tom Mooney and Warren K. Billings\, were framed for the murder of the victims and spent many years in prison before being released. On this tour\, we learn not only about the war between business and labor and open and closed union shops\, but also about the divisive issues of American aggression in the Pacific region and against Mexico\, crusading and yellow journalism in the city of San Francisco\, and the mood of the country regarding World War I. The tour lasts approximately two hours. David Duckworth is an art and cultural historian\, having lectured widely\, including at California Institute of Integral Studies\, Free University\, LaborFest\, New York University\, Popular Culture/American Culture Association\, and Treasure Island Museum. Gifford Hartman is an adult educator\, labor trainer\, working class historian\, and has been a rank-and-file militant in various industries (some organized by the SEIU and ILWU\, and other non-union shops) and presently works in the unorganized precarious education sector.

SUMMARY:Film : Dare To Struggle Dare To Win\, 1968 (96 min.) France
DESCRIPTION:FilmWorks United International Working Class Film & Video Festival\nDirected by Jea-Pierre Thorn (France)\n50th Anniversary of May-June General Strike France\nIn the middle of the May-June French General Strike in 1968 Jean Pierre-Thorn\, a film student at University of Paris\, takes his camera to the Flins Renault auto plant and ends up in the middle of the workers struggle during these events. This is an intimate and close-up look at the struggle of the French workers during that historic strike and occupation by French workers. We see how the occupation took place from the inside and the role of the students who also were supporting the occupation. The strikers not only had to fight the bosses but also the CGT (France’s largest trade union federation) and the closely linked French Communist Party (PCF)\, who were both opposed to the general strike. Also depicted in the film are the heroic attempts of as many as 5\,000 students and workers from other workplaces and regions to reach the factory in its rural location to support the occupation. The police\, also numbering in the thousands\, attempted to block them from reaching the factory\, so the street fighting in the small town of Flins takes on a similar appearance to the battles of the Latin Quarter in Paris\, as local residents support the strikers and their supporters who came to show their solidarity. Following the film there will be a discussion.

SUMMARY:Whistle Blowers and Workers Rights
DESCRIPTION:Whistleblowers on the job are under attack. This forum will hear from whistleblowers about their struggle to defend health and safety and the public. Their actions are taking place in a period of growing financial corruption in our society. One of the whistleblowers\, Darrell Whitman\, who is a member of AFGE and worked as an investigator at the OSHA whistleblower protection program\, tried to investigate retaliation against whistleblowers from Wells Fargo\, Lockheed Martin\, FedEx and Test America. He himself was harassed\, bullied\, and illegally fired. When workers at regulatory agencies stand up for worker rights and they are removed we have a real crisis. The growing systemic corruption that working people and the public face is being challenged despite the dangers and at this forum we will learn from those who have been speaking truth to power. \nInitial speakers: Darrell Whitman\, Former OSHA Whistleblower Protection Program Cheryl Thornton\, SEIU 1021 CCSF Worker at Potrero Hill Health Center Matthew Zugsberger\, UBC 34 Whistleblower at NPS Drakes Bay Estuary Project Yesenia Guitron\, Whistleblower at Wells Fargo Bank Johnny Burris\, Whistleblower at J.P.

SUMMARY:The Gig Economy\, Privacy\, Automation and AI
DESCRIPTION:San Francisco Bay Area is ground zero for the world tech transformation from platforms at Uber and Lyft to social media networks like Facebook and search engines like Google. The collection of big data without privacy rights\, or the introduction of automation by Tesla and AI without any real controls and regulations\, is not only injuring workers but also threatens public rights as our emotions and every private move are captured for profit. The “gig” worker in our automated economy is becoming the majority of workers in the United States and every other developed country. The impact of algorithmic and data-driven management of human workers is happening today at an mind numbing speed\, and this panel will look at these technologies and their impact on workers and our society. \nInitial speakers:\nTodd Davies\, Symbolic System Program\, Stanford; Center for the Study of Language and Information\nBrian Dolber\, California State University of San Marcos\, Communications and The Gig Economy\nMehmet Bayron\, LaborNet\, Software\, Exploitation and Automation of Tech Workers\nEdward Escobar\, The Alliance For Independent Workers \nLocation: Stanford University – Margaret Jacks Hall is in the Main Quad building.

SUMMARY:Book Reading - Trotskyists on Trial
DESCRIPTION:By Donna T. Haverty-Stacke\nThe 1934 Minneapolis Teamster general strike coincided with the San Francisco General Strike. After the Minneapolis strike\, the government\, the companies and more conservative union officials sought to go after the leadership of the Teamster Local 544 for organizing the strike and fighting against corporate unionism. Donna T. Haverty-Stacke who is professor at Hunter College in New York has written an important work of this trial and period. Haverty-Stacke will discuss the lessons of this trial and how the leadership was removed and replaced by a more compliant union that was interested in working with the companies and government to blacklist the leaders of the general strike. \nClick here to watch her presentation on July 15\, 2018

DESCRIPTION:With Peter O’Driscoll and Harvey\nSmith In the past few years\, there has been a growing community effort to defend the Coit Tower murals from leaking water and to stop plans for privatization of the site. This led to the critical renovation of the murals on their 80th anniversary. They were being painted during the time of the 1934 general strike in San Francisco. LaborFest will hold its annual guided tour of the murals with Peter O’Driscoll and Harvey Smith. At the time of their installation\, an organized effort was made to destroy them because of the leftist themes. The artists and their supporters had to physically defend the site. The murals were successfully defended and we have them today as our heritage. The artists were working under the Civil Works Administration and Public Works of Art program\, which was later extended to many buildings and sites throughout the U.S.

SUMMARY:Film : Last Train Home\, 2010 (87 min) China
DESCRIPTION:  \nDirected by Lixin Fan (China)\nWhen this documentary was made 8 years ago\, the number of the migrant workers from rural area of China to big cities were 130 million\, however\, it is now 260 million in China. These are the workers who have built the largest industrial power in the world. This film shows the lives of these migrant workers and the mass migration back to their homes and families during the holidays. This mass exodus is the world’s largest human migration – an epic spectacle that reveals a country tragically caught between its rural past and industrial future. They have been separated from their families during the year and many live in dire conditions with no political and education rights in the cities. While China is developing industry in the interior and workers are moving back to their provinces\, the vast majority still work and live on the coastal cities as second-class workers. If they bring their children with them\, these children are not allowed to registered for school or receive benefits of official residencys including the healthcare\, education and housing. Their long estrangement from their children leaves deep scars. The film is powerful in showing the lives of these workers as they fight for the last train home.

SUMMARY:50th Anniversary of SF State Strike - The Lessons for Today
DESCRIPTION:This commemorative event honors the 50th anniversary of the San Francisco State Strike. What are the lessons of that strike for today when students have to go into debt to attend college? The mass SF State Strike\, which was supported by campus unions including the AFT Teachers Union\, was the longest student strike in the history of the United States. The demands for ethnic studies and open admissions are relevant today as there is an organized attack on ethnic studies and the privatization of public education. Working class and poor students in California and throughout the country must go into massive debt to obtain an education. Ethnic cleansing is also taking place in San Francisco and Oakland\, where African American communities are being driven out of their homes. ILWU Local 10 also played a critical role in supporting the strike. They supported the strikers\, including professors and staff at the college\, by supplying work on the docks during the strike and this was important to sustain their struggle. There will be a photo display and videos screened during the event. It is time to continue and build the fight that was made 50 years ago. \nLabor and The 1968 San Francisco State Strike (20min.)

SUMMARY:Taxi Workers and The Streets of San Francisco
DESCRIPTION:The deregulation of taxi workers began in San Francisco during the 1970’s. It has escalated with the introduction of tech platforms for Uber and Lyft\, which have allowed the massive introduction of drivers\, pitting workers against workers for the profits of the billionaires who own these platforms. It has also led to massive gridlock and environmental problems while seriously impacting public transit\, which now must be subsidized by the public. This forum\, sponsored by the San Francisco Taxi Workers Alliance will\, examine these issues and what transit workers and the public can do about it. \nInitial Panel:\nMark Gruberg\, SFTWA\nRichard McGoo\, Pres SFTWA\nEvelyn Engel\, Board Secretary SFTWA \nFor more information https://www.sftwa.org

SUMMARY:Concert : Labor Troubadour and Rocker Mike Stout and Whats Left With Jimmy Kelley
DESCRIPTION:Mike Stout has spent his life rocking the world with his music. Based in Pittsburgh\, he is known as the “World’s Grievance Man” and his music has a powerful punch. In 1977 Stout became a steelworker at Homestead Works\, where he was elected the union’s head grievance man. He used his music to rally his co-workers at union meetings and against the closures and de-industrialization by the steel companies who moved plants to non-union areas in the U.S. and around the world. His music unites all workers and the oppressed. Acapella will open the mike\, and Jimmy Kelly\, long time labor educator and musican\, will also kick up the beat with Stout and other Bay Area musicians. \nVideos \n\nYou can watch Mike Stout and Acapella’s performance on July 11 – click here

SUMMARY:Immigrant Girl\, Radical Woman\, a Memoir from the Early Twen- tieth Century - Book reading
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Robbin Henderson Matilda Rabinowitz’s memoir challenges assumptions about the lives of early twentieth-century women. In Immigrant Girl\, Radical Woman\, Rabinowitz describes the ways in which she and her contemporaries rejected the intellectual and social restrictions imposed on women as they sought political and economic equality in the first half of the twentieth century. Rabinowitz devoted herself to the notion that women should be entitled to independence\, equal rights\, equal pay\, and sexual and personal autonomy. Rabinowitz (1887-1963) immigrated to the United States from Ukraine at the age of thirteen. Radicalized by her experience in sweatshops\, she became an organizer for the Industrial Workers of the World from 1912 to 1917 before choosing single motherhood in 1918. “Big Bill” Haywood once wrote\, “a book could be written about Matilda\,” but her memoir was intended as a private story for her grandchildren\, Robbin Legere Henderson among them. Henderson’s black-and-white scratchboard drawings illustrate Robinowitz’s life in the Pale of Settlement\, the journey to America\, political awakening and work as an organizer for the IWW\, a turbulent romance\, and her struggle to support herself and her child.

SUMMARY:Panel - Workplace Racism\, Hanging Nooses and Fightback
DESCRIPTION:The escalation of open racist attacks is happening not only in our communities but on our jobs. There is a national epidemic of “hanging nooses” and workplace bullying to terrorize African American workers and other workers on the job. At the same time there is systemic racial discrimination in many industries and in the City and County of San Francisco. This forum will look at these incidents and also why these are not isolated. Panelists will also look at how workers can educate their fellow workers about stopping these attacks and how to organize a national fight-back.\nSpeakers:\nBrenda Barros\, SEIU 1021 SF General Hospital Chapter Chair and Co-Chair COPE\nStacie Rodgers\, ILWU Local 10 rank-and-file member\nDaryle Washington\, former SF Recology worker & driver\nCheryl Thornton\, SEIU 1021 Potrero Hill Health Center\nSponsored by United Public Workers For Action\nwww.upwa.info

SUMMARY:Workers Rights\, Workers Lives\, Organizing in Silicon Valley
DESCRIPTION:Millions of workers have come to the Bay Area and Silicon Valley to work and live. The conference will hear from workers who are fighting for union and worker rights in Silicon valley from service workers to tech workers. While billionaires are being made every year in Silicon valley the workers who make their money are facing extreme economic hardship\, struggling to survive. The unionization of thousands of contract workers at companies such as Google\, Apple\, and Facebook has raised their living conditions but the massive housing crisis and inability for workers to live in Silicon Valley forces workers into their cars\, spending hours commuting on the road. At the same time the racist attack on immigrant workers\, including in Silicon Valley\, is harming not just service workers but immigrants from throughout the world who now work in the Valley. Discrimination against their wives and families is escalating as xenophobia grows. We will hear as well about how tech workers are working with service workers to defend union and immigrant rights\, and joining in solidarity.\nInitial Speakers:\nRebeca Armendariz\, SEIU-USWW Senior Community Political Organizer\nMehmet Bayron\, Software exploitation and automation of tech workers\nBob Emmett\, SEIU-USWW security guard\nEdward Escobar\, The Alliance for Independent Workers\nMaria Noel Fernandez\, Deputy Executive Director\, Working Partnerships USA\nMaria Gonzalez\, Tech worker who was sexually assaulted at work\nAmanda Hawes\, Founder of SCCOSH and legal advocate for electronics workers and their children harmed by workplace toxics\nKarthik Ramanathan\, Immigrant Tech Worker\nRuth Silver Taube\, Labor and Human Rights Lawyer\, Santa Clara County Wage Theft Coalition \nTentative Program\n9:30 AM Registration\n10:00 AM Conference Opens\nThe Struggles For Service Workers In Silicon Valley\n12:00 Lunch\n1:00 PM\nHuman Rights And Silicon Valley-The Attack on Immigrant Workers\n2:00 PM\nTech Workers\, Tech Billionaires And The Future of Work\n3:30 PM\nProposals For Action\, Solidarity and Unity\n4:00 PM Conference Closes \nSponsored by:\nSanta Clara County Wage Theft Coalition\, LaborNet.org\, LaborTech.net\, LaborFest.\nContact for conference: (408) 621-5678\, (415) 533-5942 \nDownload PDF Flyer \nKorean Oracle Workers Strike & Struggle for Justice/Fighting Cyber-serfdom \n
