A Day's Work, A Day's Pay
A DAYS WORK, A DAYS PAY portrays the frustrations and triumphs of
three New York City welfare recipients as they battle against Mayor
Rudolph Giulianis workfare program, which forces welfare recipients to
work at city jobs for one fourth the union wage. Facing political and
personal obstacles as they fight for living-wage jobs and protections for
workfare workers, the characters stories shed light on the process of
organizing, political empowerment, and the complex challenges of moving
from welfare to work. This film captures both the impact of historic
changes in the American social safety net and the heroism these
changes inspire in New Yorks welfare recipients..
