For the folks that brought you the forty hour work week,

Happy Labor Day everyone!

Here are some clips for you:

Those are two consecutive clips from John Sayles' 1987 film, Matewan, starring James Earl Jones, Chris Cooper, David Strathairn, and Will Oldham (Bonnie "Prince" Billy.)

Below is a trailer for Made in Dagenham, starring Sally Hawkins, Bob Hoskins, Rosamund Pike, Miranda Richardson, and Andrea Riseborough.

This post is inspired by and owes a serious debt to Hartley and digby over at Hullabaloo.
