Summary: Chronicles the six-month strike at Hormel in Austin, Minnesota, in 1985-86. The local union, P-9 of the Food and Commercial Workers, overwhelmingly rejects a contract offer with a $2/hour wage cut. They strike and hire a New York consultant to manage a national media campaign against Hormel. Despite support from P-9's rank and file, FCWU's international disagrees with the strategy. (imdb.com)

Soul crushing. Kopple is clearly pro-union but she tries (and succeeds) in keeping things mostly balanced. The most important reason to see this movie is that it shows that solidarity can't beat economic considerations. (Multiple plants, offshoring, temporary workers, management replacing front line workers...)

In the same league as Harlan County, but still, not quite as powerful.

The story of the Hormel company breaking the union in one of its plants just because it can. This movie should have been a lot stronger considering the story it tells
