Film Overview
The story of the closing of the last factory in America to manufacture subway and railroad passenger cars. It shows the dramatic confrontation between the Pullman workers, fighting to save their jobs, and the modern Pullman conglomerate, swallowed up by the “merger mania” of the 1980's. The film raises the questions of how the American labor movement will survive this era of corporate takeovers and plant closings.
