Workforce is an hour long drama with a dark comedic tone. Set in the mid 2000's in a manufacturing town rocked by the recession, most people are just trying to make it to the end of the workweek and still have a job. Low wages, long hours, and poor working conditions are only the surface of what's wrong with the plant. Anthony Scolari is hired to turn it all around. Irreverent, but optimistic, an engaging fifty-something, Scolari is impatient with defiant, self-obsessed and arrogant employees, but also a passionate shop floor advocate. His unenviable task? Strike the difficult balance between what’s right for the employees and what’s right for the business. Members of his supporting cast, the five-member management team, his assistant, and the chief union steward, have grown weary of the well-oiled GM turnstile. The question they have to ask and answer: support him or not? Scolari will need more than just his rapier-like wit to get him through the everyday challenges he soon finds out to be the norm at the plant. Concessions, and compromise are going to be the new standard operating procedure if he's going to be successful.
