Labor Women is a portrait of three immigrant daughters who are part of a new generation transforming the U.S. labor movement. Quynh Nguyen is a trilingual organizer mobilizing meatpackers in their demands for a union contract. Karla Zombro is a lead organizer for the Respect at LAX Living Wage campaign. Jun Chong represents the most marginalized of workers – welfare recipients who are being forced into workfare programs. Contrary to images of the Asian American “model minority,” they are passionate advocates for social change and the labor movement as it is becoming in the 21st century.
