Canadian Labour in Crisis:
Reinventing the Workers’
Movement by David Camfield

Mondragon Bookstore & Coffeehouse, 91 Albert Street
Free Admission

Though many of us think of ourselves as middle class, most
of us are, in fact, working class: we work for a wage. And though
many of us are members of unions, most people do not
understand themselves to be part of this movement. Canadian
Labour in Crisis asks why this is so. Through an analysis of the contemporary Canadian working-class movement and its
historical development, Camfield offers an explanation for its current state and argues that reform within the movement is not enough.

Featured Film: Will the Real Terrorist Please
Stand Up?

A film about terrorism against Cuba, produced and
directed by US academic Saul Landau, is being
presented at the 32nd International New Latin-
American Film Festival.

Will the Real Terrorist
Please Stand Up? is one of the 515 competing in
the event and premiers at the Charles Chaplin
Movie Theater on December 11th, 2011.

The film deals with 50 years of terrorism against
the Caribbean island and presents the case
of the Five Cuban anti-terrorists who tried to
prevent subversive actions against their country
and have been unjustly locked in US jails for
12 years.

The documentary includes interviews
with renowned terrorists Luis Posada Carriles,
Orlando Bosch, José Basulto and others, who
freely walk down the streets of Miami, supported
and protected by the government of the United
States.

A writer, journalist, documentary maker and
academic, Landau has received awards such
as the Emmy, George Polk, First Amendment,
Letelier-Moffit and Bernardo O Higgings.

Hosted by Manitoba Cuba Solidarity Committee

Beneath Black Skies
In 1902, Australia’s largest industrial disaster
killed 96 men and boys and left 120 children
fatherless. This labour history tracks how
Australia’s first mineral export, coal, shaped
the men and women who lived the mining life…
beneath black skies.

THE COCA-COLA CASE
Colombia is the trade union murder capital of
the world. Since 2002, more than 470 workers’
leaders have been killed by paramilitaries hired
by companies intent on crushing the unions.
Among these corporate brands is… Coca-Cola.
