Vancouver’s Lucky Lager Brewery, ca.1936. The Clark County M useum ’s new exhibit ‘Labor: /\
Working History," traces the history o f work and workers in the Vancouver area.
Peter
Clarke
Labor: A Working History
Clock in at the Clark County Museum in
Vancou ver to learn about Clark County ’ s work
and workers in this brand new exhibit by
tracing their history against a backdrop of
regional and national labor movement mile­
stones through words, images, and artifacts,
plus activities for the young and young at
heart.
The’exhibit begins in the 1820’s with labor­
ers for the Hudson’s Bay Company. As
industry began to grow later in the 1800’s in
Vancouver through large companies like the
Star Brewery and service industry jobs in­
creased as a result, workers banded together
to protect their wages and rights.
Continuing through the 20th century, the
exhibit highlights the effects of the world wars
on workers’ unions and the internal struggles
between organized labor groups such as the
AFL and the CIO.
Since the 1980’s and the rise of automation
and inflation, labor unions have lost much of
the power they once held, and the exhibit notes
the plight of present-day workers along with
the potential for a future without the protec­
tions of strong labor unions.
Labor: A Working History runs through
Dec. 31.
