Labor history at the AFL-CIO & Labor Notes

<p>This week we find labor history at the recent AFL-CIO convention and the Labor Notes conference. LHT host Chris Garlock and producer Patrick Dixon were at both events and were thrilled to meet so many Labor History Today listeners; please be sure to share Labor History Today with someone you think would enjoy it; that’s how we keep this history alive and how we build the audience for the show. Thank you!</p> <p>At the AFL-CIO convention in Philadelphia last week, producers Patrick Dixon and Mel Smith caught up with the Meany Archives’ Ben Blake and Alan Wierdak who were there with a special exhibit about Philadelphia’s labor history. Then, at the Labor Notes conference in Chicago last weekend, host Chris Garlock talked to Julia Berkowitz, from the Illinois Labor History Society, a name many of you will have heard in the credits for Rick Smith’s Labor History in 2:00 segments, here on Labor History Today.</p> <p>On <a href='https://laborhistoryin2.podbean.com/'>Labor History in 2:00</a>: Juneteenth (1865) and The Women’s Day Massacre (1937).</p> <p>Got a questions, comments or suggestions welcome, and to find out how you can be a part of Labor History Today, email us at <a href='mailto:LaborHistoryToday@gmail.com'>LaborHistoryToday@gmail.com</a></p> <p>Labor History Today is produced by <a href='https://unioncityradio.podbean.com/'>Union City Radio</a> and the <a href='https://lwp.georgetown.edu/'>Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor</a>.
