Documentary Screening: The Right to Unite
April 27, 2016 @ 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Reception at 6:00pm | Program at 6:30pm
Refreshments will be provided.
Now is an important time for the Supreme Court. Earlier this year, the Court heard oral arguments in Friedrichs v. CTA, which threatens workers’ rights to organize in effective unions. Justice Antonin Scalia’s passing means the Court will decide Friedrichs with only eight justices. The fight over filling the Supreme Court vacancy comes at a critical time in the history of the Court, the law, and our nation. Join us for a special screening of The Right to Unite, our short film highlighting the importance of unions through the stories of two home healthcare workers. Following the film will be a discussion about Friedrichs and the future of the Supreme Court.
