Instead, the public is presented the image of clever, skillful, and prosperous workers who ‘keep the wheels of American industry rolling.’” note: Produced for television broadcast and for 16mm distri- bution to civic, community, and labor groups, Americans at Work was the AFL-CIO’s response to the National Association of Manufacturers’ Industry on Parade (entry 203) and to an ongo- ing Senate investigation of labor union corruption. The films were carried by more than 200 television stations.
