Vote Now For Labor Video Of The Year
Friday, March 12, 2010(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
Last week, Hollywood had its Oscars. “Now it's our turn,”
says LabourStart’s Eric Lee, announcing that voting has begun to choose the
first-ever global Labour
Video of the Year. “Our distinguished panel of judges has selected a
shortlist of six films out of more than 200 submitted,” says Lee. “It was a
difficult choice, but they've found six extraordinary films. Watching these very
short videos will make you laugh and they will make you think. And they
will remind us why we are trade unionists.” Lee promises that “you are going
to love seeing them -- and then showing them to your friends, co-workers, family
members and fellow trade unionists.” Lee encourages activists to vote for the
Labour Video of the Year and to “spread the word that there are some great
little films out there and we should be making sure they get seen by thousands
of working people.” The DC
Labor FilmFest, which helped originate the Labour Video of the
Year contest, also coordinated the judging and plans to screen a
compilation of some of the contest finalists. - image from "A
