Union Maids is a 1976 American documentary film directed by Jim Klein, Julia Reichert and Miles Mogulescu.
In 2022, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
[3] Like many of her other films, Julia Reichert used a collaborative, nonhierarchical model of filmmaking during the production of Union Maids.
She and James Klein shot the documentary on video rather than film.
Also, shooting on video allowed Reichert and Klein to use student cinematographers, as they could watch the video live and give real-time direction without wasting expensive film stock.
