Union Made Movie a Hit!!!

I had the pleasure of attending the premier of the new movie Union Made Six Lives Transformed. It's a fantastic movie that shows just how important unions are in the lives of many Angelenos. The event took place at Paramount Studios in Hollywood. Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and several prominent Labor leaders were there as well as rank and file members and clergy. The six union members that were profiled in the movie attended with their families as well.

Union Made Six Lives Transformed

On Monday, April 21st, 2008 at 6PM, Union Made Six Lives Transformed will be shown at Paramount Studios, Sherry Lansing Theater. Los Angeles Mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa is expected to attend this special screening. The documentary film follows the lives of six members of the Ironworkers Union, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, and Pipe Trades Unions. The film was based on a front-page article in the Los Angeles Times that looked at community organizing by Los Angeles Building Trades Unions. These unions continue to reach out to individuals from difficult backgrounds and are helping to improve the community by doing so. The documentary looks at the power of unions to transform people’s lives through quality jobs and training. A reception will precede the event. Food will be served. The film is approximately 60 minutes in length.
