-Eyes on the Fries-
"A breakthrough! More than a shocking expose of the McJob sector, this film is an inspiring and moving glimpse into the future of the
American labor movement." -Naomi Klein, author of "No Logo"
Low wages, erratic schedules, no health care, work-school conflicts.
This film looks beyond the stereotypes of carefree and undeserving
youth to uncover a reality that millions of young working people know
all too well: no matter how hard you work and how well you do in
school, it can be difficult to stay afloat when you're coming of age
in a "McJob" economy. But there are ways to improve things - and young people are taking the lead.
Examines the rise of the low wage service sector and what it means for a generation of young Americans whose lives depend on it. Also
features the successful struggle to raise the minimum wage in San
Francisco, and the daily struggles of young workers from Oakland to
New York.
