Temp workers are the topic of a film to be shown in late April and early May in Massena and Potsdam. The screenings are part of a seven-community tour to mark Workers’ Memorial Day.
“A Day’s Work” explores the hazards facing temporary and new workers, focusing on 21-year-old Lawrence DaQuan “Day” Davis. In 2012, he died 90 minutes into his first-ever job, assigned by a temporary staffing agency to a Bacardi plant in Florida. The issue is explored through the eyes of Davis’ family -- especially his 17-year-old sister, Antonia -- and specialists in health and safety and temp work.
Workers’ Memorial Day, April 28, was first observed in the United States in 1989. Originating in Canada in 1986, it now is an international event.
Screenings:
• Massena High School, April 30, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
• SUNY Potsdam Kellas Hall room 104, May 5, 4 to 6 p.m.
