Program 23: 'Fire Department, Inc' and 'The Cooperators' - SUNY HVASLS

FIRE DEPARTMENT, INC - A suburban firefighter’s labor union finds itself under a different kind of fire when the Village Mayor announces he’s privatizing their department to save money. What results is a five year long legal battle with the potential to change labor law for the entire country. (1 hr 18m, 2023, Director: Colin C. Hughes)

Short to precede:

THE COOPERATORS - In 1962, the ILGWU (International Ladies Garment Workers Union) threw open the doors to Penn South, the affordable housing cooperative in the middle of New York City. The Cooperators is based on oral history interviews with the first residents of the coop. Their voices weave a story of the vision, struggle and community that have kept Penn South a beacon of affordable housing and the bold possibilities of social unionism.
