For example, there is a scene where one of the workers has a picture of Benito Juarez on the wall. I wonder if that was the case? Remember, many (if not most) of these employees were veterans of WWII, and if they had anyone's picture up, it was probably FDR's. In truth, however, it was the role of the women on the picket line and their liberation that has made the film so recognized today...and probably not the labor struggle itself. “Salt” is a remarkable film, but it takes plenty of liberties.
