Department of LabourDescription:The story of how Local 100, an affiliate of a national union, was formed. The sudden dismissal of an employee of the plant makes the others realize their lack of job security, and discussion of this problem leads to the suggestion and decision that they organize a trade union. The film relates the steps that followed: the approach to the national union; the assistance given by an organizer from union headquarters; and the signing of the workers through discussion and using the services of the union support organization to rally them to the cause. This procedure resulted in Local 100 being declared the bargaining authority. The union then begins negotiating with management. We see, too, how collective bargaining was carried on to obtain a contract providing job security and improved conditions. The democratic procedure followed throughout proves the contention that free trade unionism is one of the strongest pillars of democracy. <21mn>Language:EnglishDetailed holdings information: -
