(PAI) —The House Education and Labor Committee is back. To nobody’s great surprise, the House Democratic Caucus, whose members will be the majority in the 116th Congress, voted to restore the word “La- bor” to the name of the com- mittee that deals with workers’ rights, job safety and other re- lated issues. That continues the 25-year back-and-forth between the two parties over the panel’s name. After winning in 1994, the GOP, hating the word “La- bor,”changed the name to “Ed- ucation and the Workforce.” When Democrats retook House control in the 2006 elec- tion, “Labor” rebounded. And when the GOP seized power four years after that, “Work- force” returned. Now “Labor” is back in the House. It never left the Senate. The name changes symbol- ize continuing high partisan- ship on the panel. Democrats voted in Rep. Bobby Scott (D- Va.), now ranking member, as chairman. Republicans named current chair Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) as ranking member. She questions the need for unions at all. Low Prices!

Southwest Washington NATIONAL Labor history group puts out call for papers 2019 marks the 100th anniversary of a watershed year in American and Canadian labor history, espe- cially in the West. The year was de- fined by the Seattle and Winnipeg General Strikes, the Centralia Mas- sacre, and a wave of state-spon- sored repression of immigrant workers during the Palmer Raids. The Pacific Northwest Labor His- tory Association will reflect on those events at its annual confer- ence in Portland May 3-5. PNLHA has put out a call for pa- pers, presentations, performances and workshops that examine labor history of the past 100 years, espe- cially related to: labor radicalism; patriarchy and feminism; employer and state repression; and racism. Submit one-page proposals elec- tronically by Jan. 7 to Conference Program Committee Coordinator Nikki Mandell at PNLHA2019@ gmail.com. PNLHA is also looking for sponsors to help fund the confer- ence. Money will be used to bring keynote speakers and hire union musicians and sound technicians, and pay printing and other ex- penses, including free conference registration for students. For more information, contact James Cook at 503-703-1693 or visit pnlha.org.
