The movie I watched that portrays a work-related struggle is Norma Rae.  As a textile mill worker she was very displeased from the beginning when her mother kept getting temporarily deaf while working in the highly noisy textile mill.  When the union organizer came to their town, he wanted the workers to start a union in their community of workers.  He knew that there weren't good working conditions and that their wages were low for all the hard work that the have done.  When the union organizer came to Norma Rae's house, he asked questions that Norma Rae's father didn't like, and what the union organizer said caught her attention.  He asked Norma Rae to be his voice for the push of organized labor, and that she was.  She risked a lot for starting a union, even her job, but everyone trusted Norma Rae and her actions.  She even stood up against her boss, the managers, and the police to push for unions.  She and the union organizer went to many houses in her town to make people more aware of the conditions at the textile mill.  Many of the people were skeptical of why they should join a union.  It was mostly because they thought they were going to lose their jobs that they have had for many years.
