When a group of workers realise that without their labour, capitalists simply don't operate, they give to each other the gift of empowerment, dignity and unity of existence.
Most powerful scene touchy as well hits the heart of bro g a parent. She was the one that fought for my union today to join and before her the suffering of workers with out any coverage or 401k etc etc. union keeps us working
Holidays, 40 hour work week, health care, worker safety laws, child labor laws, minimum wage,....the list goes on......without unions none of these things would exist for any workers even non union. if America is conned into going against unions it will become a corporatocratic fascist state.
Rofl....henry ford invented the 40hr wrk week long before unions existed. Private business offered healthcare before unions also...minimum wage was passed by govt not unions. Yer list is all full of bullshit
@@carlosrivas1629 That was happening anyway. Places that can't be outsourced like Starbucks, now have hundreds of unionized locations in the US. Amazon has its first unionized warehouse. Wal-Mart would have but they illegally shut down their store whenever it happens.
Small town in north carolina, one industry town and friendship with the mayor and city council,, cronyism is the problem at times at that happens in any system.
The countries of Vietnam and Cambodia thank them for all their hard work. That's were these products are made now. The jobs, unions, and buildings are long gone, and its wrecked the cities they were in. Mission accomplished.
@@alabama2uz The fact that those who exploit cheap labour took their exploitation practices off shore is neither the fault of unions/the union movement nor the fault of the working class people they once used to exploit for protecting themselves in their own workplaces. If people in other countries are now being exploited then there is ONE group of people to blame and one group ONLY: those making money off exploiting vulnerable people. Furthermore, if towns and cities suffered due to unionisation then the blame belongs with a government that didn't see the need to support workers rights and support small towns to transition to an economy that didn't NEED to exploit its people in order to survive. Because if exploitation is the basis for your economy then maybe you deserve to meet your demise. Quit buying into capitalist propaganda. You'll never be one of them. They are to blame. UNION.
Even just glancing at the machines those people are working with for a split second shows you right away they should have a union. The machinery is so dangerous. Yes, unions can get corrupt, just like corporations and government can be corrupt. When corporations are corrupt no one says we should get rid of all corporations. Likewise for unions. Clean up corrupts but for god sakes protect these workers.
it took my union 30 days on the line but we won and that was 26 years ago and the union brother hood was never tested again we got our raisers and medical and vacation and sick days and we won with pride
...and then a couple of decades later the jobs went overseas to places where if you try to pull this stunt they will beat, imprison, or kill you. And now just as those workers too are demanding higher wages along comes robotics, automation, and AI to replace their labor. We were never meant to find happiness or contentment as a species. Individuals maybe, if you are lucky, but as a species we were meant to suffer from the consequences of our own ambitions and instincts...
Sadly big business learned. They bought the politicians and made Alabama a right to work state and at will employment. The citizens of Alabama work without paid or unpaid meal breaks in many factories and industries. Child labor is rampant at factories. It’s like a different country. The citizens here will put up with it because they’ve been acclimated to it. They always vote against their best interests. And people from the outside will say “it’s not that bad, they can’t do that, there are laws”. There is no law here. If you work for the Federal Government or a Defense Contractor you have some protections so working in Alabama, you base everything on your experiences and think it can’t be that bad. We believe in limited government, free markets, and standing on your own two feet. That’s why almost the entire state economy is linked to Federal Government spending. That’s why the Alabama Department of Economic Development reportedly spent around $1 Billion in subsidies and tax abatements last year to large corporations and retail giants, but we won’t know because the expenditures are exempt from sunshine laws. Small businesses got taxes and big businesses got government handouts. Alabama has massive poverty and maternal and child mortality approaching 3rd world levels. We have severe medical access problems. This is what 35 years of solid red voting has gotten us. Be careful what you vote for because they want to bring it to a neighborhood near you.
@Jcolinsol: You make me think you are one of those people paid by the oposition to place misguided posts on the internet. Eberybody knows that this is a true story with only the names changed to who was affected by it. The characters were incredibly believable, and the story equally so, because it comes so close to home. It defines the strengths of having a labor union, and it defines why so many oppose it as well. What really amazes me is how well Norma handles being arrested. Bravo!
In those days women were less than zero on society. I was a child, I remember those early pioneers of the mid and late 70s women who were mostly coming off the divorces of the mid 70s. Getting felt up or smacked in the ass was a right...all men had at any time.... Women would get patted smacked in the ass regularly in the 70s as a child I saw it, The pioneers we're just like her but far far tougher....they had to be ....it was a tough time for women....real touch and go. They flirted with disaster every day.....they got a man angry...they could get fired that moment... But the pioneers we're tough they were. Those early mid and late 70s women, they were tough By the 80s it had normalized slightly.....
At least women do not need to flee to another country to fight wars they do not believe in. Let's not do revisionist history as I known you are eager to get your Social Justice Credit up.
You got it. How long after big shot loud mouth Rubin skilled back to NY to enjoy all the Nathan's Hog Dogs he wanted that there were layoff at the plant because the price of labour shot up due to union demands?
Her Mother was already deafened by the machines her Father dropped dead of a heartattack there they wouldn't let him rest they will literally work people to death if they can and just act as if it's normal.
I had a retired on site factory nurse tell me how 8 people passed out in the same spot on a line in one day before they would shut it down and investigate why people were passing out. I said "Wait wait wait. 8 people? How did you get anyone to go over there after the first few passed out?" She said "because the boss said go over there so you do what he says"😂 I can't even imagine being such a lemming.
@machallboyd Well, it's nice to see that sometimes people will stand up to authorities in unity. It's a shame that they did it, only to establish another authority to submit themselves to though. Oh well, that's how revolution works, I guess.
Yep, and all this outsourcing just to save some money always comes back to bite Us in the ass. Just look at what's going on now cannot get vehicles because of computer chips the supply chain is a mess because everything we get comes from other countries and we depend on it way too much all because of corporate greed and these companies do not want to pay a fair wage or provide decent benefits for their workers. Anyone that disagrees with this must have their head up their ass, this country needs to get back to making our own products, we have become way too dependent on other countries just think these other countries could cripple the United States just by simply stopping exporting things to us. I am proud to be a teamsters Union member for 20 years now I have every holiday off paid and paid vacations I make over 100k a year and I have excellent health benefits and a 401k on top of a pension. I would never work for a company that does not want to unionize and provide great benefits for their employees.
I think the entire concept of unions are outdated..I think any place should give a worker the opportunity to join a union or bargaining unit..the place I work is dirty, dangerous for employees, it's owned by a foreign company, and they will only barely buy required safety equipment..I can think of a half dozen OSHA violations right off the top of my head..but companies can shut down at a moment's notice, move work elsewhere, close factory and office buildings down.. regardless of ur position, the company always has the upper hand..and the antics I witnessed from union members and leadership was nothing short of corrupt and disgusting..workers manipulation of overtime to get paid for doing absolutely nothing, grieving some nonsense NLRB violation that amounts to squat..yet at the same time not working with the company for an equitable working agreement on new phenomena and evolving working environments..but the place I work needs it if nothing else than to enforce safety rules..and don't even get me started on temps, security workers, hospitality and fast food employees..
Fran Drescher had her Norma Rae moment today. Couldn't be prouder to be UNION!
When a group of workers realise that without their labour, capitalists simply don't operate, they give to each other the gift of empowerment, dignity and unity of existence.
pisss of commie, capitalism is free market enterprise, its the coffee your drink and the phone you choose to buy.
Definitely one of the most powerful scenes ever in a movie.
Most powerful scene touchy as well hits the heart of bro g a parent. She was the one that fought for my union today to join and before her the suffering of workers with out any coverage or 401k etc etc. union keeps us working
Amen to that I lost everything when mine went bankrupt but then when they decided to not strike it all worked out
Holidays, 40 hour work week, health care, worker safety laws, child labor laws, minimum wage,....the list goes on......without unions none of these things would exist for any workers even non union. if America is conned into going against unions it will become a corporatocratic fascist state.
So glad Norma told that trash off and succeeded at unionization

@@markwhitman9029 yeah and many factories are shut down and Vietnam and Cambodia provide us with the good now. whoops?
What's your point?

I'm sure I'm not the only one who had ever thought of pulling a "Norma Rae" on the boss! Unions=democracy in the workplace! Workers, unite & organize!
you realize this is not truth, its a narrative despigned to make her look like the hero when all i see is a cunt, an adsolute cunt.
Small town in north carolina, one industry town and friendship with the mayor and city council,, cronyism is the problem at times at that happens in any system.

@@alabama2uz they do not want to hear that, it doesnt feel good and well the machines are loud so yeah ear plugs, duh?
Adversity, a textile mill in a small town struggling does not need a blood sucking union making things worse.

Yet the management .Has no respect for the worker. You could hear it in his tone.

then your company went under and the labor went to China.

Teachers are overpaid
your the biggest union out there, you take all the money and give shit to the students.
