Union Maids

Director: Julia Reichert, Jim Klein, Miles Mogulescu

Three female union organizers, veterans of the Depression era, reminisce over all they’ve seen and done for the camera in this stirring oral history, which brings to life memories of strikes, scabs, street fights, and the battle to birth the CIO. “Characters whose hearts and minds leap off the screen with… grace and nobility.”—The New York Times
