May Day 2010 Sparks New Collaborations

May Day in Rochester this year saw a coming together of dozens of groups for the planning a participation of a Celebration of Worker's History. Julie Shmidke, an organizer from Next Generation United opened the festivities by explaining the History of May day:

"Today is the day the world celebrates the struggle of workers who won the 8 hour work day. Its a Holiday that started here in America and is celebrated all over the world, except for in America. They took it away from us years ago because it was too scary and too dangerous and we asked too many questions. The last few years in cities around the country workers have been fighting to bring it back, for Immigration Reform, for workers rights, for all the things that we fight for to make our lives better"

This 8 minute video features short snip-its of the speeches, chants and signs from Saturday.

Film from Chile Has Lessons for Americans

The Rochester Labor Council hosted The Maid at the Dryden Theater March 26. The film was produced in Chile, directed by Sebastian Silva. It looks at the plight of domestic workers through the starring character Racquel. Racquel has worked for the same family of university professors for 20 years as a maid, cook and nanny for their four children. The story is set in Santiago, Chile but could just as well have taken place in Los Angeles, Miami or Rochester.

Silva looks into the difficulty of life for domestic workers. They are often isolated from their families.
