The Murphy Institute for Labor Studies/CUNY is hosting #WUFF15 for a gala and we are using this opportunity to focus on the power of global solidarity by screening Blood Fruit. Blood Fruit is a film about workers who rise up and use the power of a worker strike and ask for a customer boycott to reject South African apartheid's products.

A Time to Care  features the daughter of a Long-Term Care (LTC) resident and heartfelt accounts from PSWs and RPNs about the challenges they face providing quality care to residents. Sunset Cruise shows how the elderly and their caregivers often head into uncharted waters as they spend more and more time together in the client's declining years. CARE takes this personal story and expands upon it by following four caregivers, who must not only struggle with their clients' needs, but also with the limitations of long hours, lousy pay and meager benefits for themselves.
