The Faster - UPMC Workers Documentary

Chaney Lewis is a vegetarian, wrestling coach, and father of two. He works for Pittsburgh's largest employer UPMC, where he transports hospital patients who require heart monitors. After working for UPMC for nine years, he's still struggling to raise his family on $11.97 an hour.
"Workers are willing to take a stand," he says. "Extreme measures."
In the video above, you can watch Chaney's week of fasting without food in demonstration for higher wages at UPMC. You can help his struggle by visiting makeitourupmc.org
Video directed, edited, and scored by Julie Sokolow
