Michael Moore and Jane Macalevey sent me here.

I saw this film in 1980 when the local community college had a labor film series. I just watched it here again last night. This is one of the most stirring films I've ever seen. Watch it. You will not be disappointed. ~ Proud 40 year member, IBEW Local #1

the song at the end.yes. Does anyone know if there's a compilation that has this version on it? I found a faster newer Hazel Dickens recording but I like the one in this doc better.

Very inspiring, it remembers us that the only way to reach victory is to organize

wow

Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said: “The Last Hour will not arrive until the Euphrates uncovers a mountain of gold, over which people will fight. Ninety-nine out of every hundred will die but every man amongst them would say that perhaps he would be the one who will be saved (and thus possess the gold).” [Sahîh Muslim] Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said: “The Last Hour will not arrive until the Euphrates uncovers a treasure of gold, so whoever finds it should take nothing from it.” [Sahîh Muslim] ^remember this prophecy and don't participate in attempting to aqquire the gold

This is such an awesome piece of history!

What a great film. Class struggle at its finest. Men - Women & "Minority" workers struggling together. What an inspiration.

So banking is basically a legalized pyramid scheme...

What if I owned a bank. I partner up with a friend of mine which will be a third party. We planned that I lended him a huge amount of money in personal so that he can pay the debt that he borrowed from my bank. And we kept doing it simultaneously , and I will kept earning those "debt created money" and I will give part of it to that friend of mine so that he could keeps on borrowing money from my bank and paying back to my bank. What will that case be?

A powerful film! A great cause!

I like the music in the beginning very much. However, I cannot find it online no matter how I search it. Does anybody know the source where I can obtain it?

What an excellent piece that still holds TRUE

The system is rigged and psychopaths have taken control of things. The more wealthy you are the less responsible you are to society and the greater harm you can induce through finances. It is no longer a war of swords and guns, it is a war of dollars and cents. That is how we are controlled. Honesty, integrity, loyalty, humanity, and love do not gain financial wealth in this world. Selfishness, greed, dishonesty, disloyal, backstabbing people are rewarded with financial success. What does that tell you about the state of affairs? We are doomed. We facilitate an ego driven, selfish society where financial wealth is rewarded by negative human traits.

Hi Jim! I would love if you posted this. I have the pleasure of living in Genora's LA home these days... and we are fascinated by her!

Hi there, I hope my explanation helps. The problem isnt money or banks if its sound money & sound money practice by banks. What we have now is called fractional reserve lending, where banks can loan money they dont have. Again, "Loan money they dont have." You go to the bank, they have 0 in the vault, you ask for $5k, they tell you okay, pay me back interest - they print $5k for you out of thin air, you work your ass off & you pay them back $5k+ interest with money they didnt have to begin with.

I'm really confused... Don't banks put money into the economy by exchanging it for goods and services? What about the people who work there? Lets say I borrow $5000 from a bank, and then I work at that bank for a paycheck for 3 years and over time I pay back the principle + the interest totaling $7000. Now I'm the owner of the thing I used the $5000 to buy and I don't owe the bank anything.. So where did the money come from? I'm lost....

Thank you for sharing this. The truths & struggle are as relevant then as today.

Needed that info thx

Buchta...?

Lyn, you did a great job on this production. Genora Dollinger was in incredible lady.

Bill which lady was or is your grandmother. Genora Dollinger was a relative of my ex-wife. I video taped an interview with her about her past union activities, in her back yard back in the 1980s. There was another video created by the BBC I believe, about Genora and her comrades. I can locate it if you are interested in having it.

The music over the closing credits is "The Rebel Girl", written in 1911 by the IWW's troubadour Joe Hill, and sung by West Virginia's great Hazel Dickens (1935-2011).

Bill: Good to hear from you. I am one of the producers of With Babies and Banners

Im writing a report on the women of the flint sit-down strike right now for my History seminar class at UCR. thank you for posting on this because now I know her name and I can quote her directly. :)

the interview was filmed mostly in my grandmothers house it was great to see this again after all these years im very proud of her strength and beliefs in what the womens brigade stood for and help change the future for workers. her name was Delia Parish and she states in the video she was the first volunteer to take food to the workers because the smell of tear gas didnt bother her.lol thats the lady i remember and our history with GM makes me proud to be a U.A.W. member.
