So many of today’s adults and young people have little appreciation for the difference organized labor has made in all our lives. There would be no employer-
provided health insurance for workers were it not for leaders like the Reuthers.
Likewise, the 40 hour work week, overtime pay, safer and healthier workplaces,
vacations, and a higher standard of living were all made possible by organized labor. With the decline in labor union numbers, the middle class is declining as well.

I cannot think of a more opportune time for this documentary to light the path
back to a better standard of living for America’s poor and dwindling middle class.
