So much for labor solidarity. The workers of Sandra’s local have voted to allow management to lay her off so they can keep their bonuses. It will be a devastating blow to her and her family, but that’s her problem, not theirs. However, she has been granted a second vote, due to the foreman’s improper attempt to influence the outcome.
With the encouragement of her husband Manu and a supportive workmate, Sandra will fight for her job, practicing retail politics at its most personal in the Dardenne Brothers’ “Two Days, One Night.”
Sandra tries to buck up and lobby her colleagues to allow her to stay, despite the very real financial cost they would have to bear.
