Film showing at First Unitarian Universalist Church – 1187 Franklin St, SF
This month, Sensible Cinema along with SF LaborFest remembers the letter carriers strike of March 1970 beginning in New York City and spreading across the nation. Described as the largest wildcat strike in U.S. history, this action resulted in a raise, collective bargaining, and respect for the rank and file letter carriers in New York as well as the United States.
In the film we will see an ultimate act of civil disobedience against the Federal Government forcing President Nixon to the bargaining table to address what had been a decades long struggle for equality and respect, and shaping a brighter future for themselves and for those who came after them.
After the screening there will be a discussion and Q&A.
