About this event

An encore screening of 'Organize or Die: The Story of Local 78', plus a collection of short frontline films from electricians about union and work life.


ORGANIZE OR DIE: THE STORY OF LOCAL 78 - In 1996, thirteen hundred NYC hazardous waste workers told the industry they had enough … They wanted a UNION. This is the story of Local 78 and the largest organizing campaign in the history of LiUNA. (33m, 2026, Director: Pat Byrne)


IBEW LOCAL 3 APPRENTICE SHORTS - A collection of 5-6 min long frontline films centered on union life and being an apprentice electrician in IBEW Local 3. Using only a smartphone, SUNY Van Arsdale students are taught how to shoot and edit video in order to depict a personal truth that might otherwise be framed incorrectly in the mainstream media, where stories about workers and their unions are often distorted and untruthful. (Approx 1 hr 20m, 2025-2026, Directors: Various)

Part of the Workers Unite Film Festival
