- Do you know about the labor conditions of where you eat?
Residents of New York’s Upper East Side get bagels and coffee served with a smile 24 hours a day. But behind the scenes, undocumented immigrant workers face sub-legal wages, dangerous machinery, and abusive managers who will fire them for calling in sick.
Risking deportation and the loss of their livelihood—sandwich maker Mahoma López and his co-workers fight back and form an independent union. If they can win a contract, it will set a historic precedent for low-wage workers across the country. But whatever happens, they will never be exploited again.
- Approx. 56 min.
Screening followed by discussion facilitated by Xóchitl Bada, Associate Professor, Latin American and Latino Studies (LALS) Program.
