NW Labor History
Association puts
out call for papers
The Pacific Northwest Labor His-
tory Association has put out a call for
papers, workshops and presentations
for its annul conference, to be held in
Portland June 11-13, 2010.
PNLHA is looking for proposals
for papers, panels, workshops, and
presentations related to the theme:
“The Union Makes Us Strong: Inspi-
ration, Guidance, and Hope During
Hard Times.”
Workers, families, and communi-
ties throughout the Pacific Northwest
have been seriously affected by the
current economic crisis, the worst
since the Great Depression, says Bob
Bussel, director of the Labor Educa-
tion and Research Center and a mem-
ber of the PNHLA. But the region has
been through economic downturns
before and has been able to maintain
its rich tradition of unionism, commu-
nity organizing, and independent po-
litical action. “In hard times we can
draw on this history for inspiration,
guidance, and hope in developing
strategies that promote working-class
needs and interests,” Bussel said.
The deadline for proposals is Feb.
15, 2010. For more information, Bus-
sel can be reached at 541-346-2784 or
bussel@uoregon.edu.
