The Organizer (1963)

Description

At the end of the 19th Century, working conditions are intolerable for the sweat shop workers in a Piedmonte textile factory, The impoverished employees labor fourteen hours a day with a very short lunch, meager pay, no insurance, and horribly unsafe conditions. When an older worker loses a hand in an accident with a machine without receiving compensation from management, a former high school teacher turned labor organizer is dispatched to Turin to direct a strike.
