195511 minFilm: Animation
Direction: Morten Parker
Production: Tom Daly
Script: Wolf KoenigRobert Verrall
Produced by the National Film Board of Canada in cooperation with the Canadian and Catholic Confederation of Labour, the Canadian Congress of Labour, the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada and the Canadian Department of Labour.
This animated film examines the organization of labour unions today. While the narrator in all seriousness outlines the structure of a union and the larger bodies to which it is affiliated, the animator ad libs his own views with gay abandon. Examples are given to illustrate the functioning of a union at its various levels, from union local to national body to labour congress.
