For a real documentary on collective bargaining, see the
CBC/NFB film "Final Offer" which is a film of the Canadian
UAW-General Motors negotiations in 1984 (?) which led not
only to a different pattern of agreements in Canada but
also to the breakoff of the Cdn Automobile Workers from
the UAW.  It is an incredible documentary in that both
parties allowed the cameras into their negotiations and
into the union caucus sessions.  (It also comes with
a language warning -- this is the real stuff.)
