#2 Labor history education2011-03-15 22:53Labor history is our history. It is the only movement that unites all people and fights for the rights of each individual. Most of the rights i enjoy were won by organized laborers taking a stand. And yet in our culture it is still a hidden history. |

#7 Re: Labor History in the Schools2011-03-16 20:32It is important that sutdents learn about the history of labor practices. This will give them the tools to fight for fair labor practices by showing them how it was accomplished. Also they will know what to expect and demand when they enter the workforce. |

#11 Labor History Studies must include Alice Hamilton, M.D.2011-03-18 00:20Because I never studied labor history, I only recently learned about the pioneering work of Dr. Alice Hamilton to improve safety in the "dangerous trades." She lived at Hull House in Chicago (where she identified work-related diseases in her neighbors) and later at Harvard taught occupational medicine, the field she had founded. For decades she was a federal consultant on work-related health problems. After retiring in 1935, she moved to her summer home in Lyme, CT, where she wrote her autobiography. She died there in 1970 at the age of 101. The U.S. Postal Service honored her in 1995 with a postage stamp in its Great Americans Series for her work as a social reformer. We have her to thank for OSHA. |

#12 Labor History plus2011-03-20 17:48I hope that people are thinking of teaching not only labor history, as if it were a "dead" subject, but also that labor is alive, though not well. |

#13 Howard Zinn2011-04-03 23:53Howard Zinn's "A Peoples History of the United States" ought to be required reading for every American. It should also be the #1 textbook in any labor history class that might emerge from this effort. |
