With These Hands: The Story of an American Furniture Factory

With These Hands: The Story of an American Furniture Factory - a film by Matthew Barr. "...With These Hands takes us into the factory in the last days and weeks of production. Retired CEO Clyde Hooker, Jr., the son of Hooker Furniture's founder, tells of how, as a five-year-old boy, he blew the whistle on the first day of operation in 1924. Later, he headed the company through years of expansion and innovation, implementing employee participation and reward policies that made Hooker one of the best companies to work for in the Southeast. His successor, Paul Toms, tells of the tough decisions that the company had to make in the face of globalization and heightened competition."
