Studying Labor in the Movies
Lawrence Smoot | Published on 10/12/2024
Participants in an online Johns Hopkins University class will use the prism of labor films to view both labor history and current efforts by workers to organize. “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,” says James Ward Morrow, who will lead the Labor in the Movies class, which starts October 31. Morrow is Assistant General Counsel and Legislative Counsel for AFGE. LHF Newsletter
