Meet the Union Printers 1

“Meet the Union Printers” was a radio series produced by Local 16 of the International Typographical Union, the ITU, when it was on strike against the Chicago newspapers from late 1947 and into 1949. The strike started only a couple of months after the passage of the anti-union Taft-Hartley Act which changed the labor relations rules that had become law during the depression. Listen to their voices.<hr> Hosted on Acast.

Labor-State Department-Unholy Alliance

International union solidarity is an important part of the labor movement. There are numerous examples of working people and their organizations supporting working people in other parts of the world fighting the good fight. However, since at least 1900 the leadership if the American Federation of Labor has had an unholy  relationship with the U.S. government in international affairs.  This top-down approach to solidarity has led the AFL, and the AFL-CIO after the 1955 merger, to be often more in sympathy with dictators, corrupt union bosses and reactionary politics rather to the needs of rank-and-file workers. Out guest today, Jeff Schuhrke, does an excellent job of describing this top-down approach in his book Blue Collar Empire – the Untold Story of U.S. Labor’s Global Anticommunist Crusade. Jeff is a labor historian and Assistant Professor at the Harry Van Arsdale Jr. School of Labor Studies, SUNY Empire State University. The book is published by Verso Press. After the interview we will have musical examples of bottom-up labor solidarity during the 1930s Spanish Civil War. We will have songs from the International Brigades sections from Germany, Italy and the United States. Hope you can stick around. <hr> Hosted on Acast.
