Labor history at the AFL-CIO & Labor Notes

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!

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.

On Labor History in 2:00: Juneteenth (1865) and The Women’s Day Massacre (1937).
