Labor Books & Movies Just a Click Away(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)Looking for great books or movies about the issues you care about? Here are two great sources: TheWorkSite.org and FilmsForAction. TheWorkSite.org offers book and music reviews as part of its “free, adaptable tools for grassroots education and organizing.” Also available are media tips, writing tips, and a whole section on unions, including new member orientation, contract campaigns, union political communication and more. “What I like about the book section is that it includes fiction, frequently mysteries with a union or progressive bent,” says Carl Goldman, Executive Director of AFSCME Council 26. FilmsForAction offers a great collection of films and videos, organized by subject, and includes not only trailers but often entire movies online, from the 5-minute “Bolivia: Fighting for decent work” to Alex Gibney’s 58-minute 2012 film “Park Avenue: Money, Power & the American Dream.”. Plus, check out their cool “Wall of Films”, passed along to us by AFSCME 2910’s Saul Schneiderman.
