San Francisco LaborFest

Gone Postal

July: San Francisco LaborFest
The DC LaborFest's online film series is off this week, but you can check out the [link removed] San Francisco LaborFest online. Celebrating its 27th year, the San Francisco LaborFest runs throughout the month of July. This week's online events include a session on the "History of Labor Parties in the U.S. and Prospects Today" on Wednesday. Then on Thursday, "Labor & The Murals" will explore the controversy over artistic expression swirling around the 1936 George Washington murals by Victor Arnautoff at the San Francisco high school named after Washington. On Friday, there's a screening of the film "Gone Postal," which investigates the dark corners of the U.S. Postal Service as brave employees stand up to injustice on the job and fight to save "the People's Post Office."

Introduced by director Jay Galione

Jay Galione, son of a postal worker, investigates the dark corners of the U.S. Postal Service. Across the country, brave employees stand up to injustice on the job and fight to Save the People's Post Office. A moving indictment of the toxic culture and push to downsize, this eye-opening documentary allows viewers to hear from experts and advocates including Ralph Nader and Richard Wolff, and directly from the selfless and courageous people hidden behind the scenes, long suffering and ignored.

91 min; 2019, U.S., documentary, directed by Jay Galione
