Book Synopsis Dreams of Dignity Workers of Vision by : Grace Palladino
Download or read book Dreams of Dignity Workers of Vision written by Grace Palladino and published by . This book was released on 2016-08-31 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1891, 10 delegates representing eight cities and 300 electrical workers met in St. Louis. Led by a Texas-born lineman named Henry Miller, their goal was to organize and improve working conditions in the rapidly growing but extremely dangerous electrical industry.From that meeting came the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, which has helped millions of workers in the United States and Canada rise up and join the middle class while also raising the quality of work in the electrical industry.In the follow-up to her history of the IBEW released in 1991, noted labor historian Grace Palladino adds three chapters covering the last 25 years. She reflects on a time of enormous challenges, such as globalization, which has roiled labor markets and sent jobs overseas. Internally, women and other underrepresented groups won more influence on union policy. The economic crisis of 2008 was devastating for wiremen and construction workers. But successfully meeting challenges has been an IBEW trademark throughout its 125-year history. An economic depression in the 1890s nearly destroyed the union before it got off the ground. So did the leadership split between Frank McNulty and James Reid from 1908-13. Internal divisions and right-to-work legislation caused deep rifts after World War II. But thanks to an engaged membership and inspirational leadership, the IBEW remains one of the world's leading trade unions. Palladino combines hours of research and interviews to bring this sometimes colorful history to life.

Book Synopsis Strike for the Common Good by : Rebecca Kolins Givan
Download or read book Strike for the Common Good written by Rebecca Kolins Givan and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2020-10-08 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In February 2018, 35,000 public school educators and staff walked off the job in West Virginia. More than 100,000 teachers in other states—both right-to-work states, like West Virginia, and those with a unionized workforce—followed them over the next year. From Arizona, Kentucky, and Oklahoma to Colorado and California, teachers announced to state legislators that not only their abysmal wages but the deplorable conditions of their work and the increasingly straitened circumstances of public education were unacceptable. These recent teacher walkouts affirm public education as a crucial public benefit and understand the rampant disinvestment in public education not simply as a local issue affecting teacher paychecks but also as a danger to communities and to democracy. Strike for the Common Good gathers together original essays, written by teachers involved in strikes nationwide, by students and parents who have supported them, by journalists who have covered these strikes in depth, and by outside analysts (academic and otherwise). Together, the essays consider the place of these strikes in the broader landscape of recent labor organizing and battles over public education, and attend to the largely female workforce and, often, largely non-white student population of America’s schools.

Download or read book Live Wire written by Fran Moccio and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2010-08-06 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Live Wire, Francine Moccio brings to life forty years of public policy reform and advocacy that have failed to eliminate restricted opportunities for women in highly paid, skilled blue-collar jobs. Breaking barriers into a male-only occupation and trade, women electricians have found career opportunities in nontraditional work. Yet their efforts to achieve gender equality have also collided with the prejudice and fraternal values of brotherhood and factors that have ultimately derailed women's full inclusion. By drawing instructive comparisons of women’s entrance into the electricians’ trade and its union with those of black and other minority men, Moccio’s in-depth case study brings new insights into the ways in which divisions at work along the lines of race, gender, and economic background enhance and/or inhibit inclusion. Incorporating research based on extensive primary, secondary, and archival resources, Live Wire contributes a much-needed examination of how sex segregation is reproduced in blue-collar occupations, while also scrutinizing the complex interactions of work, unions, leisure, and family life.
Book Synopsis Harry Van Arsdale, Jr. by : Gene Ruffini
Download or read book Harry Van Arsdale, Jr. written by Gene Ruffini and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-20 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harry Van Arsdale (1905-1986) was a towering figure in the New York labor scene. After being initiated into the Local 3 International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers in 1925 and becoming its business manager in 1933, Van Arsdale turned the then corrupt and disorganized union into a force to be reckoned with. He became president of the New York City Central Labor Council in 1957, which put him in a position to become a greater influence for labor relations locally and nationally. As business manager and president of these organizations, Van Arsdale advocated and won shorter work days, in order to give more men a chance to work - especially important in the 1930s. He instituted paid vacation, paid holidays, annuity plans, and educational opportunities for union workers - novelties at that time - as well as scholarships for workers' children. His sincere commitment to improving the lives of American workers and their families made him a truly beloved figure. This fascinating memoir traces Van Arsdale's sixty-plus years as a union member and powerful labor figure, and provides colorful details of his many remarkable accomplishments.

Download or read book High Voltage Women written by Ellie Belew and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary Nonfiction. Women's Studies. The gripping story of a multi-racial group of women who put their bodies on the line to gain a foothold in the male and largely white electrical trades at Seattle's publicly owned utility in the 1970s. Female pioneers implemented affirmative action in the face of life-threatening sexism and racism. Some saw the trades as just a means to a better paycheck. But other participants sought to build alliances with men of color, white male union members, and office staff to change the culture of discrimination at City Light and in the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 77. This book recounts 25 years of workplace activism, draws the connections between Seattle's feminist, civil rights and labor movements, and shows the record of city politicians on affirmative action and job justice issues. Includes photos, index, timeline, and reference notes.

Book Synopsis The Seattle General Strike by : Robert Friedheim
Download or read book The Seattle General Strike written by Robert Friedheim and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “We are undertaking the most tremendous move ever made by LABOR in this country, a move which will lead—NO ONE KNOWS WHERE!” With these words echoing throughout the city, on February 6, 1919, 65,000 Seattle workers began one of the most important general strikes in US history. For six tense yet nonviolent days, the Central Labor Council negotiated with federal and local authorities on behalf of the shipyard workers whose grievances initiated the citywide walkout. Meanwhile, strikers organized to provide essential services such as delivering supplies to hospitals and markets, as well as feeding thousands at union-run dining facilities. Robert L. Friedheim’s classic account of the dramatic events of 1919, first published in 1964 and now enhanced with a new introduction, afterword, and photo essay by James N. Gregory, vividly details what happened and why. Overturning conventional understandings of the American Federation of Labor as a conservative labor organization devoted to pure and simple unionism, Friedheim shows the influence of socialists and the IWW in the city’s labor movement. While Seattle’s strike ended in disappointment, it led to massive strikes across the country that determined the direction of labor, capital, and government for decades. The Seattle General Strike is an exciting portrait of a Seattle long gone and of events that shaped the city’s reputation for left-leaning activism into the twenty-first century.
