Oh brother (and sister), where art thou?
I was a national trade union official for 24 years of my working life and believe that all genuinely free societies need strong, representative and independent labour organisations. I’m a fervent film fan and love movies of most genres.
These two interests come together in respect of films that feature trade unions or least workers asserting their rights. But, believe me, there aren’t many of these. I’ve reviewed25 of them here.
I was reminded of all this by a recent posting on an “Independent” newspaper blog by James Undy who clearly shares my interests and recommends a new French film called “Potiche”.
