Open to all and desi gned for anyone engaged or interested in workplace or non-workplace based movement work! Sign up here\n\nWhat were the key lessons of the ‘60s and ’ 70s public sector union upsurge that can inform our work today? How did wo rkers organize themselves and their communities? To what extent were the f ights against racism and sexism integrated into those struggles? What role did union officials and the state play? And in all of this\, what were th e strengths and weaknesses that the Left brought to the movements?\nThis s eries will explore how the various movements of the period created the pos sibility for public workers to think of themselves as workers needing unio ns and with the right to bargain with their bosses collectively. We will e specially look at how the civil rights movement paved the way for this to happen and the impact of the disproportionate percentage of black and wome n workers in this sector\, left out of the New Deal labor laws of the 1930 s. We will also consider how these unions met or failed to meet the challe nges of racism\, sexism\, and anti-communism in the midst of Cold War Amer ica.\nGroups will start the week of Monday\, October 18th\, consist of 10 – 15 people\, and will meet on a regular date and time every other week fo r a total of 5 sessions.
