Lawson: screening SuperSizeMyPay 20 August

Resistance, Green Left Weekly and the Blue Mountains Socialist Alliance are proud to be screening SuperSizeMyPay, Art Resistance TV's most recent documentary.

SuperSizeMyPay -
Sunday, August 20, 2pm,
Mid Mountains Community Centre, Lawson

This film shows how young workers in New Zealand -- many of whom are also high school students -- are taking on multinational fast-food corporations to win better wages and conditions.

Since last November UNITE has been leading strikes in major fast-food chains including KFC, McDonald's, Starbucks, Wendys & Pizza Hut. The campaign is called SupersizeMyPay. This documentary is relevant in Australia as young workers are subject to extreme workplace exploitation under the Howard government's WorkChoices regime
