Won't you try to convince the men that we 've got to do this? I can't very well convince...
Something wrong with the clip?
Quote
Daniel Doubleday:
Won't you try to convince the men that we 've got to do this?
Brad Adams:
I can't very well convince them if I'm not convinced myself. Local 145 is opposed to the layoff of any of us workers.
Dwight Hawkins:
The union can't oppose new equipment. Read your contract.
Brad Adams:
I don't have to read it. I know it by heart.
Dwight Hawkins:
We don't have to argue with you. We can go right ahead...
Daniel Doubleday:
Now hold on, Hawkins.
Brad Adams:
Only a scab will run two machines for ya.
Daniel Doubleday:
Easy, Brad. Do you think for one minute that I would hire scabs?
Brad Adams:
You wouldn't want to, Mr. Doubleday, but you might have to. Think what would happen to us. Why, this layoff would split the union wide open. It could break us.
Daniel Doubleday:
Which is better. Half of them working or the whole company bankrupt and everybody out of a job?
Brad Adams:
Ah, you'll have to figure other ways to cut your prices. Pull out your profits for awhile. You can stand the loss better than the men can.
Daniel Doubleday:
Our profits have gone right back into the business and we have borrowed money besides. Look here, Brad. If the union will go along, you'll see more money and more jobs for everybody in town.
Brad Adams:
That's a theory, Mr. Doubleday. And I won't let my men lose their jobs to prove a theory.

00:00:04.456 --> 00:00:05.956
No thanks, Mr. Hawkins.
00:00:06.859 --> 00:00:08.119
That's right, Joe.
00:00:08.916 --> 00:00:11.796
You're trying to get
him to set a precedent.
00:00:11.797 --> 00:00:14.998
The union hasn't accepted
these new machines yet.
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:16.026
Read your contract.
00:00:22.608 --> 00:00:24.468
I'm making this a grievance.
00:00:24.944 --> 00:00:26.864
It's under protest, go ahead.
00:00:28.881 --> 00:00:31.148
Well, what are you waiting for?
00:00:31.015 --> 00:00:32.075
Okay, Joe.
00:00:32.752 --> 00:00:33.752
Start it.
00:00:34.522 --> 00:00:37.222
You're kiddin',
aren't you, Mr. Hawkins?
00:00:37.223 --> 00:00:38.723
Mind your own business.
00:00:41.361 --> 00:00:42.626
Go find Brad.
00:00:42.628 --> 00:00:44.228
He's the man to decide.
00:00:44.023 --> 00:00:47.023
Operate that machine,
London, or draw your pay.
00:00:49.701 --> 00:00:51.101
Okay, boys.
00:00:51.103 --> 00:00:52.103
Let's walk.
00:00:53.505 --> 00:00:54.505
Come on, Joe.
00:00:56.242 --> 00:00:58.442
You men, stay on your machines!
00:00:58.443 --> 00:01:00.002
Ah, come on, let's walk.
00:01:00.999 --> 00:01:01.312
What's the matter, fellas?
00:01:01.313 --> 00:01:02.447
Joe's been fired.
00:01:02.448 --> 00:01:03.782
Are we gonna lay down
and walk all over us?
00:01:03.783 --> 00:01:06.251
Wait a minute, Brad's
the head of Local 145.
00:01:06.252 --> 00:01:07.999
Pull that switch.
00:01:07.452 --> 00:01:08.999
- Come on, let's go.
- Come on, let's walk.
00:01:08.072 --> 00:01:10.999
Yeah, we're walking.
00:01:10.999 --> 00:01:13.592
Hey, boys, they fired
Joe London, we're walking.
00:01:13.593 --> 00:01:15.259
You stay here, Joe.
00:01:17.999 --> 00:01:19.196
Hey, fellas, come here.
00:01:19.197 --> 00:01:21.998
They fired Joe London,
we're all walking out.
00:01:21.003 --> 00:01:23.934
- Who are they?
- Hawkins.
00:01:23.935 --> 00:01:25.027
I'm going down to spread
the message about what's-
00:01:25.271 --> 00:01:27.137
- Go.
- Goin' on around here.
00:01:27.001 --> 00:01:28.607
- We're walking.
- Why?
00:01:28.608 --> 00:01:30.675
Ask Al, he'll tell
you what's going on.
00:01:30.676 --> 00:01:34.678
They fired Joe
London, we're walking out.
00:01:34.679 --> 00:01:36.681
We're walking, are you
coming with us or not?
00:01:36.682 --> 00:01:38.682
- What?
- They fired Joe.
00:01:38.001 --> 00:01:40.752
Told everyone to pull
their keys and walk.
00:01:40.753 --> 00:01:43.999
- I ain't walking-
- It's unavailable.
00:01:45.357 --> 00:01:47.001
Hey, Bob, come here.
00:01:47.996 --> 00:01:49.726
We're walking out,
they fired Joe London.
00:01:49.727 --> 00:01:51.229
Hawkins fired him for not
running the new machine.
00:01:51.023 --> 00:01:52.631
- Are you with me?
- Yeah!
00:01:52.001 --> 00:01:54.004
- All right, let's walk.
- Come on!
00:01:54.994 --> 00:01:55.499
- Walk.
- Walk!
00:01:55.501 --> 00:01:56.767
- Walk!
- Walk!
00:01:56.001 --> 00:02:00.006
Walk, walk, walk, walk, walk.
00:02:00.001 --> 00:02:03.006
- Let's go!
- Walk, walk, walk, walk!
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:08.999
- Walk, walk!
- You got no right
00:02:08.999 --> 00:02:10.649
- to simply walk out.
- Walk, walk, walk.
00:02:10.001 --> 00:02:12.999
- Come on back, you fools.
- Walk, walk, walk.
00:02:12.452 --> 00:02:14.001
- Go back to your machines.
- Walk, walk, walk.
00:02:14.001 --> 00:02:15.999
- Come on!
- Walk, walk, walk, walk.
00:02:15.988 --> 00:02:18.999
What's wrong with you?
00:02:26.666 --> 00:02:28.999
Hey, what's happening here?
00:02:28.999 --> 00:02:30.001
Oh, Hawkins fired me for refusing
00:02:30.999 --> 00:02:32.203
to work with them
Starvation Annie's.
00:02:32.001 --> 00:02:33.001
- Fired you?
- Yeah.
00:02:33.999 --> 00:02:35.001
Well, I'll talk
to Mr. Hawkins.
00:02:35.941 --> 00:02:38.142
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:02:38.001 --> 00:02:40.904
Why are the rest of
you fellas off the job?
00:02:41.028 --> 00:02:42.001
Huh?
00:02:42.999 --> 00:02:43.001
They wouldn't listen.
00:02:44.999 --> 00:02:46.001
I told 'em I'd
take full responsibility.
00:02:46.001 --> 00:02:48.953
- Al's right!
- No, no, he isn't.
00:02:48.001 --> 00:02:50.001
- Are you crazy?
- It's the only way.
00:02:50.999 --> 00:02:52.999
Walk and call a strike.
00:02:53.292 --> 00:02:55.392
No, you listen, you'll wreck us.
00:02:56.999 --> 00:02:58.001
This is just what Hawkins wants.
00:02:59.631 --> 00:03:01.999
What are we, a sewing circle?
00:03:01.767 --> 00:03:02.001
We're not moving.
00:03:05.001 --> 00:03:08.239
If you stay out you'll
break your contract
00:03:08.001 --> 00:03:10.999
and the union won't be able
to do a thing about it.
00:03:10.976 --> 00:03:12.976
Come on, get back to your jobs.
00:03:12.977 --> 00:03:14.987
- Come on, fellas.
- Come on, boys.
00:03:14.714 --> 00:03:15.999
I'll talk to Hawkins.
00:03:15.999 --> 00:03:17.001
- Come on.
- That's it, fellas.
00:03:17.001 --> 00:03:19.184
You're chicken if
you go back to work.
00:03:19.185 --> 00:03:20.185
Stay here!
00:03:22.001 --> 00:03:24.999
Quite acting like a hothead.
00:03:29.001 --> 00:03:30.001
Grow up, Al.
