It's amazing to see the poorest Black and Latin women in the Bronx, doing the most unglamorous work for barely no money. . .finally gets so fed up with how they're treated that the struggle to form the first domestic workers union ever. Of course the union was squashed in the end. But these women fought for it, and they made history. Even if it didn't last. You hardly hear about those kind of people in the media. Ordinary people stretching to do extraordinary things, despite intense resistance from the powers that be.
