This meeting will be a business meeting and the first of our Labor Film Series! We plan to screen the documentary Matewan (2002, 135 min.). A labor leader who is seeking to organize the workers of a company town sets off a powder keg of racial hostility, corruption and betrayal in this tale of the bitter clash between unionist miners and the tyrannical coal company owners in West Virginia in the 1920s.

Free parking is available in the “R” spaces — “R” for “Rardin Clinic” — behind the building.
