Lockout 484 |
|
Workers in Meredosia Illinois are battling a very profitable transnational chemical company — Celanese — which locked them out after demanding as much as a 33% wage cut and reduced health care benefits.
Celanese hired Special Response Corporation, a security agency that is a leading anti-union force in the country. SRC constantly films workers not only at the picket line but in their homes. The Morgan County police is paid $70 an hour to respond to calls and has told workers they are watching them as well.
Lockout484 is a moving account of workers’ attempts to build solidarity to confront Celanese.
