Out of Office: How Soft Hands Struck a Hard Bargain Synopsis

Out of Office is the story of a scrappy group of office workers in Wisconsin who managed to pull off a major victory for workers’ rights. Upon their contract’s expiration, the workers activated their dormant union and fought back against their employer - a massive financial services provider making record profits. Their fight dragged out for over 600 days and included the first strike in the company’s almost 100-year history, which was the largest labor action in Wisconsin for over ten years. A rank-and-file member of the union documented the entire struggle, and the documentary includes emotional interviews with key members of the fight.

Out of Office: How Soft Hands Struck a Hard Bargain (2024) is a documentary film directed by Will Roberts, released on November 21, 2024 with a runtime of 29m. It stars Will Roberts.
