Description:

In Louisville, we meet Angel, a warehouse worker juggling multiple jobs to get through college. In San Diego, Justin is a budding UPS driver working to unify his politically divided coworkers. In Queens, Tony is an “old-timer” in one of the most militant locales in the country, fighting to give rookies the opportunities he had. Lastly, we have exclusive access to Teamsters president Sean O’Brien as he crisscrosses the country rallying workers at critical points in the campaign. Can they build solidarity with their co-workers before the clock strikes midnight on the eve of the strike?
