Salt of the Earth Page #2

Synopsis: Based on an actual strike against the Empire Zinc Mine in New Mexico, the film deals with the prejudice against the Mexican-American workers, who struck to attain wage parity with Anglo workers in other mines and to be treated with dignity by the bosses. In the end, the greatest victory for the workers and their families is the realization that prejudice and poor treatment are conditions that are not always imposed by outside forces.

The same pay,

the same conditions.

00:
10: 22,320 - 00: 10: 26,400

Exactly, but employers

do not want this equality.

00:
10: 26.560 - 00: 10: 29.240

His only argument against

the Anglo sections is:

00:
10: 29,400 - 00: 10: 31,280

"We give more than

the Mexicans ".

00:
10: 31.440 - 00: 10: 34.840

So what? discrimination

Anglo hurts ...

00:
10: 35.040 - 00: 10: 36,800

... but me.

00:
10: 36.960 - 00: 10: 38,800

And I'm sick.

00:
10: 39.160 - 00: 10: 41.760

If you declare strike

when they want, ...

00:
10: 41.920 - 00: 10: 43.480

... will crush the union.

00:
10: 43.640 - 00: 10: 45,480

Wait till you can win.

00:
10: 45.640 - 00: 10: 47.440

Employers do not expect.

00:
10: 47,600 - 00: 10: 49.640

No running water,

my children sick.

00:
10: 49,800 - 00: 10: 51.440

The doctor did not expect.

00:
10: 51,600 - 00: 10: 52.720

Cobra cash.

00:
10: 52,880 - 00: 10: 55.240

We must within

the radio.

00:
10: 55,400 - 00: 10: 58.720

The store does not hold:

"Pay or we get along."

00:
10: 58,880 - 00: 11: 01.280

Why such a hurry

Shop employers?

00:
11: 01.440 - 00: 11: 03.400

They want to scare us

so that we do not protest.

00:
11: 03.560 - 00: 11: 07.000

Want us to conform

with what we have.

00:
11: 07.160 - 00: 11: 09.800

But I am not satisfied,

I'm not afraid.

00:
11: 09.960 - 00: 11: 12,280

I'm sick.

00:
11: 17.840 - 00: 11: 19,320

What are you doing here?

00:
11: 19,720 - 00: 11: 22,600

- Is something wrong with your mother?

- Have you forgotten?

00:
11: 22,760 - 00: 11: 25.560

- Forget what?

- Today is the holy mother.

00:
11: 29.160 - 00: 11: 31.920

He's a great guy,

It is in everything.

00:
11: 32.080 - 00: 11: 34.160

Today is the holy

my wife.

00:
11: 34,320 - 00: 11: 37,200

I would like to ask you

vinirais to haunt.

00:
11: 37.360 - 00: 11: 40,080

- At this hour?

- The later the better.

00:
12: 11,360 - 00: 12: 13,160

Why sing?

00:
12: 16,520 - 00: 12: 18,400

Sing to me.

00:
12: 20,560 - 00: 12: 21,960

Can we turn

candles?

00:
12: 25,480 - 00: 12: 27,560

We can now turn them on.

00:
12: 52.720 - 00: 12: 55.080

Happy Birthday!

00:
13: 27,600 - 00: 13: 29.680

He never wanted to mourn.

00:
13: 29,880 - 00: 13: 31.880

Why do I cry,

if I'm happy?

00:
13: 32.120 - 00: 13: 33,680

I'm an idiot.

00:
13: 33.841 - 00: 13: 35.761

No, you're not.

00:
13: 37.480 - 00: 13: 39.720

Was very expensive beer?

00:
13: 39.880 - 00: 13: 41.760

I invited Antonio.

00:
13: 43.480 - 00: 13: 46.480

Forgive me for saying

ever think of me.

00:
13: 47.280 - 00: 13: 48,960

I'd forgotten.

00:
13: 49.480 - 00: 13: 51.480

Luis reminded me.

00:
13: 59.080 - 00: 14: 02.480

I spent a week thinking that round

00:
14: 02.800 - 00: 14: 05.560

Never had such a nice holiday

00:
14: 05.960 - 00: 14: 08.960

It was a song that filled my being ...

00:
14: 09.120 - 00: 14: 12,400

and mitigated the harshness of everyday work

00:
14: 13,400 - 00: 14: 15,640

One, two three.

00:
14: 26.480 - 00: 14: 29.320

forget all our problems ...

00:
14: 29,480 - 00: 14: 31.040

... even Ramn

00:
14: 31.720 - 00: 14: 33.720

That night I could not dance ...

00:
14: 33,920 - 00: 14: 35,800

... because of my state ...

00:
14: 35.960 - 00: 14: 39.160

... but I was jealous when he danced with the other

00:
14: 39,320 - 00: 14: 42.960

It was wonderful to see you smile again

00:
14: 47.640 - 00: 14: 50.720

one morning, was hanging laundry

00:
14: 53.160 - 00: 14: 55,880

We were chatting

when they arrived ladies.

00:
14: 56.040 - 00: 14: 58.240

Formed a kind of delegation

00:
14: 58,680 - 00: 15: 01.280

They spoke of health facilities

00:
15: 01.680 - 00: 15: 05.040

Anglo miners had

sinks with hot water

00:
15: 05.200 - 00: 15: 06.920

Why not us?

00:
15: 12,880 - 00: 15: 15,400

I know, talk about it

Ramon

00:
15: 15,560 - 00: 15: 17,240

... just a week ago

00:
15: 17,400 - 00: 15: 20,400

He says the union it has

removed from their demands

00:
15: 22,080 - 00: 15: 25.640

We need to raise awareness

men about this.

00:
15: 25,800 - 00: 15: 27.680

Teach the banner

00:
15: 28,360 - 00: 15: 30.480

"We want health,

non-discrimination. "

00:
15: 30.640 - 00: 15: 33,040

We and many more

take you to the mine

00:
15: 33,240 - 00: 15: 35,720

While it is trading at the office ...

00:
15: 35.880 - 00: 15: 37,680

Arrive in groups to take the site

00:
15: 37.840 - 00: 15: 39,800

Both parties see that

we mean

00:
15: 39.960 - 00: 15: 43,400

- A squad of Women?

- Why not?

00:
15: 43,560 - 00: 15: 45.160

count me in

00:
15: 47.080 - 00: 15: 50,400

We should form a union

of woodcutters

00:
15: 50.640 - 00: 15: 54.320

We cut wood for breakfast,

to wash their clothes ...

00:
15: 54,480 - 00: 15: 58.080

... for washing for laundry,

to make dinner ...

00:
15: 58.240 - 00: 16: 01.400

... and when you come home

night, says:

00:
16: 01.600 - 00: 16: 05.320

Have you spent the day

reading comics?

00:
16: 07.440 - 00: 16: 10,320

Come on, Esperanza

00:
16: 10,560 - 00: 16: 12,560

I can not.

00:
16: 12,800 - 00: 16: 15,360

If Ramon found out of

I'm in a pinch ...

00:
16: 15,520 - 00: 16: 17,080

Do you fitting?

00:
17: 44,200 - 00: 17: 45,800

It is Mr. Kalinski

00:
17: 45.960 - 00: 17: 47.480

Hurry.

00:
18: 05.720 - 00: 18: 07.320

Carefully.

00:
18: 07.680 - 00: 18: 09.400

I want to see!

00:
18: 09.560 - 00: 18: 12,160

I want to see him now!

00:
18: 24,320 - 00: 18: 25,880

How did this happen?

00:

He entered the gallery

00:
18: 28,400 - 00: 18: 31.320

I warned, this occurs

because we work alone.

00:
18: 31.480 - 00: 18: 35.040

- Why did not they tell you?

- I had to do the foreman

00:
18: 35.320 - 00: 18: 38,400

When I looked there was no

00:
18: 38.560 - 00: 18: 40,000

It would be sleeping.

00:
18: 40,120 - 00: 18: 43.240

Not come down to the well, Kalinski

Do not lose control.

00:
18: 55.480 - 00: 18: 57,400

There is a wounded man.

00:
18: 57,560 - 00: 18: 59.880

I'm sorry too, you know?

00:
19: 02.320 - 00: 19: 04.360

Accidents hurt us all

00:
