Shuler Kicks Off Labor FilmFest Tuesday

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Liz Shuler will kick off the 2010 DC Labor FilmFest Tuesday at a free noontime screening of the FilmFest's 30-minute "Working Lunch" compilation of short films about labor. From the 1-minute Photo Booth ("It's a lonely job, but someone's got to do it") to the IBEW's 3-minute Workplace Democracy Corporate Style ("What really happens when workers try to exercise their rights"), "There's something for everyone," promises FilmFest Director Chris Garlock. Attendees at Tuesday's lunchtime screening will also get a chance to win free passes to the FilmFest and FilmFest t-shirts.
