Over the course of this semester generally, and in this week’s reading in particular, we have looked at the ways in which workers are and, more frequently, are not represented in a range of artistic media. Our task for this week’s bonus assignment is to find an instance of worker or union representation in today’s media, and to offer a mini-critique of that representation.

Your project should include the following details:

An article, video clip, song, or advertisement where work or labour is included. Where possible please include a link to the work in question using the hyperlink tool
Details about the representation including who produced it, who was involved, when it was produced, the context of its production, etc.
A critique of the work. Your critique should focus on how the union or worker(s) is represented.
Two quotations from our course material that relate to your critique of the work. Your are encouraged to use the articles provided in this week’s learning module, but you may use others. A great resources, especially in a critique of an anti-union piece, would be the Why Unions comment authored by the CLC and available in our second module.
If and where you are providing written material correct and complete APA citations will be required; if you deliver your details verbally, in some other way where text is not used, then you will need to provide a separate works cited list.

Tips for the successful completion of this assignment:
Clearly organize your work in order that your viewer, your community, knows what it is they are looking at.
Be sure that all relevant terms and concepts used in the project are explained and the information given is contextualized.
Be sure to double-check your work for errors of grammar, spelling, and logic.
Successful submissions should be writtne in Word running from 300-600 words in length. What is important here is making sure that your critique is clearly supported by the quotations you use from our course material. You are free to go over the limit in the case of more involved responses. Strive to create organized readable material.

Hint: Be sure you have a clear sense of what the work you are choosing is up to; i.e. you will do poorly if you choose an article that bashes a union without grounds and claim that it has depicted the story objectively.
