WHY Teach Labor History?Why is it important to teach labor history to the next generation?
According to the renowned labor historian James Green: "Today, with union membership reduced, government standards for worker rights and safety under assault, and job security in jeopardy everywhere, young people entering the labor market are still vulnerable to to abuse in the workplace. And yet, most are alarmingly unaware of the decades of struggle that previous generations engaged in--and that union members are still engaged in today--to extend human and civil rights in the workplace." Read more from James Green's article here.
Jim Green passed away earlier this year, please take a moment to read a tribute to this true champion of labor history written by ILHS Vice President Mike Matejka here.
