Oscar-nominated Film Maker Takes Viewers “Inside” the Life of LIUNA Worker

The final installment of Inside Man, airing this Sunday at 10 pm eastern on CNN, will focus on the real lives of those helping tow the line for America’s middle class. Supersize Me star Morgan Spurlock, the series host, will interview long-time construction organizer Chaz Rynkiewicz about some of the challenges facing organized labor across the country.

Morgan spent the work day with Chaz Rynkiewicz, Local 79 Director of Organizing, finishing up at a worker rally in the heart of the city. Along the way, the two talked about the impact of limiting union membership growth. Sunday’s installment also includes a discussion about the latest efforts in the state to renew the push for worker rights with leaders from “Build Up New York City” (BUNYC).

“We’re so grateful that CNN is reporting such an under-covered story about how the corporate war on worker rights threatens the future of America’s middle class,” LIUNA General President Terry O’Sullivan says. “We face a middle class crisis, in which LIUNA organizers, along with Build Up New York City, are working to make a real difference.”
