Film exposes temp work dangers

Ninety minutes into his new job at a Bacardi bottling plant, 21
year-old temp worker Lawrence DaQuan “Day” Davis died in a workplace
accident. “A Day's Work,” this year’s Global Labor Film Festival
offering by the Barre Historical Society, tells the story of Davis’
death and how the $100 billion temporary staffing industry is putting
millions of American workers at risk.

A discussion with the film’s executive producer David DeSario will
follow the showing.

The 2015 film will be shown at
Barre’s Old Labor Hall, 46 Granite Street, on Saturday, May 13 at 7 PM.
