Book Synopsis The Pew and the Picket Line by : Christopher D. Cantwell
Download or read book The Pew and the Picket Line written by Christopher D. Cantwell and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2016-02-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pew and the Picket Line collects works from a new generation of scholars working at the nexus where religious history and working-class history converge. Focusing on Christianity and its unique purchase in America, the contributors use in-depth local histories to illustrate how Americans male and female, rural and urban, and from a range of ethnic backgrounds dwelt in a space between the church and the shop floor. Their vivid essays show Pentecostal miners preaching prosperity while seeking miracles in the depths of the earth, while aboveground black sharecroppers and white Protestants establish credit unions to pursue a joint vision of cooperative capitalism. Innovative and essential, The Pew and the Picket Line reframes venerable debates as it maps the dynamic contours of a landscape sculpted by the powerful forces of Christianity and capitalism. Contributors: Christopher D. Cantwell, Heath W. Carter, Janine Giordano Drake, Ken Fones-Wolf, Erik Gellman, Alison Collis Greene, Brett Hendrickson, Dan McKanan, Matthew Pehl, Kerry L. Pimblott, Jarod Roll, Evelyn Sterne, and Arlene Sanchez Walsh.

Book excerpt: On February 9, 2000, the largest white-collar strike in the private sector in U.S. labor history was called against the Boeing Company in Seattle, Washington. The engineers and technicians represented by the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace walked away from good-paying jobs for forty days and forty nights. This book is a first-person narrative of the experiences of that strike. The strike was unprecedented in the union's history. The local media, Boeing management and the workers themselves had little confidence that this strike would last more than a few days.This narrative explores the motivation and the issues that compelled these workers to give up the security of a regular paycheck and face the uncertainty of a prolonged labor strike. This strike was unique in many ways. This strike grew from the dissatisfaction with the lack of respect in management's treatment of engineering and technical employees.Tom is an Electrical Engineer who spent 41 years at the Boeing Company. Shortly after graduating from Monmouth University in West Long Branch, New Jersey, he accepted a job with the Boeing. Tom is a former President of SPEEA, the union which represents the Engineers, Technicians and Training Pilots in the Pacific Northwest.

Book excerpt: In the shadows of towering Redwoods, battle lines are drawn. Here we meet Beatrice, a young Midwestern woman living in Northern California, attempting to sooth her restless cravings for belonging. Caught in the mounting battle between environmental protesters and an unpopular but powerful developer, Beatrice must balance her loyalty to well-meaning locals on one side of the controversy, and her growing concern for the threatened Redwoods.

Book Synopsis On Strike and on Film by : Ellen R. Baker
Download or read book On Strike and on Film written by Ellen R. Baker and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1950, Mexican American miners went on strike for fair working conditions in Hanover, New Mexico. When an injunction prohibited miners from picketing, their wives took over the picket lines--an unprecedented act that disrupted mining families but ultimately ensured the strikers' victory in 1952. In On Strike and on Film, Ellen Baker examines the building of a leftist union that linked class justice to ethnic equality. She shows how women's participation in union activities paved the way for their taking over the picket lines and thereby forcing their husbands, and the union, to face troubling questions about gender equality. Baker also explores the collaboration between mining families and blacklisted Hollywood filmmakers that resulted in the controversial 1954 film Salt of the Earth. She shows how this worker-artist alliance gave the mining families a unique chance to clarify the meanings of the strike in their own lives and allowed the filmmakers to create a progressive alternative to Hollywood productions. An inspiring story of working-class solidarity, Mexican American dignity, and women's liberation, Salt of the Earth was itself blacklisted by powerful anticommunists, yet the movie has endured as a vital contribution to American cinema.

Book Synopsis Black Picket Fences by : Mary Pattillo
Download or read book Black Picket Fences written by Mary Pattillo and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-07-02 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999, Mary Pattillo’s Black Picket Fences explores an American demographic group too often ignored by both scholars and the media: the black middle class. Nearly fifteen years later, this book remains a groundbreaking study of a group still underrepresented in the academic and public spheres. The result of living for three years in “Groveland,” a black middle-class neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side, Black Picket Fences explored both the advantages the black middle class has and the boundaries they still face. Despite arguments that race no longer matters, Pattillo showed a different reality, one where black and white middle classes remain separate and unequal. Stark, moving, and still timely, the book is updated for this edition with a new epilogue by the author that details how the neighborhood and its residents fared in the recession of 2008, as well as new interviews with many of the same neighborhood residents featured in the original. Also included is a new foreword by acclaimed University of Pennsylvania sociologist Annette Lareau.

Book Synopsis Holding the Line by : Barbara Kingsolver
Download or read book Holding the Line written by Barbara Kingsolver and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2012-11-26 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Holding the Line, Barbara Kingsolver's first non-fiction book, is the story of women's lives transformed by an a signal event. Set in the small mining towns of Arizona, it is part oral history and part social criticism, exploring the process of empowerment which occurs when people work together as a community. Like Kingsolver's award-winning novels, Holding the Line is a beautifully written book grounded on the strength of its characters. Hundreds of families held the line in the 1983 strike against Phelps Dodge Copper in Arizona. After more than a year the strikers lost their union certification, but the battle permanently altered the social order in these small, predominantly Hispanic mining towns. At the time the strike began, many women said they couldn't leave the house without their husband's permission. Yet, when injunctions barred union men from picketing, their wives and daughters turned out for the daily picket lines. When the strike dragged on and men left to seek jobs elsewhere, women continued to picket, organize support, and defend their rights even when the towns were occupied by the National Guard. "Nothing can ever be the same as it was before," said Diane McCormick of the Morenci Miners Women's Auxiliary. "Look at us. At the beginning of this strike, we were just a bunch of ladies."
Book Synopsis The Future of Unions and Worker Representation by : Anthony Forsyth
Download or read book The Future of Unions and Worker Representation written by Anthony Forsyth and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-01-13 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book charts the path to revitalisation for trade unions in Australia, the USA, the UK, and Italy. It examines the examples of innovation and digital campaigning that are enabling unions to build new forms of worker power – and overcome decades of declining membership wrought by neoliberalism, globalisation, and hostility from employers and the state. The study evaluates the responses of unions in each country to falling membership levels since the 1980s. It considers the US 'organising model' and its adoption in Australia and the UK, comparing this with the strategies of Italian unions which have been more deliberately focused on precarious and migrant workers. The increasing reliance of US unions on community alliances, as seen in the 'Fight for $15' and similar campaigns, is scrutinised along with new union prototypes like Hospo Voice in Australia, the Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain and SI Cobas in Italy. The book includes an in-depth analysis of union responses to the gig economy in the four countries, and the emergence of self-organised worker collectives to combat this exploitative business model. The vital role played by unions in defending the interests of workers during the COVID-19 pandemic is also examined. As well as highlighting the most successful union initiatives to meet the challenges of the past 30 years, the book assesses the strengths and deficiencies of the legal framework for union representation in the four nations. It identifies the labour law reforms needed to rebuild collectivism, but argues that more is needed than favourable laws. This cross-national study provides a rich basis for identifying the combination of reforms, strategies and linkages required to ensure that unions can remain relevant for a new generation of digitally-active workers.
