LAUNCH OF NEW GLOBAL LABOUR JOURNAL!

Global Labour Journal, is an open access, fully peer reviewed online journal launched in January 2010. It serves as a forum to capture the plentiful and diverse scholarly work emerging on labour activities worldwide and highlight the ways that labour activities are increasingly shaped by global forces. We accept submissions from a wide variety of disciplines. For more information about Global Labour please view the Aims and Scope¹ section. This is a project of the Research Committee on Labor (RC 44) of the International Sociological Association. Initial issue (up as of December 11, 2009) is a "Special Issue on Globalization(s) and Labour in China and India," and the web page is http://digitalcommons.mcmaster.ca/globallabour/.

OVERVIEW OF THIS "CONTEMPORARY LABOR ISSUES BIBLIOGRAPHY" PAGE--WITH LINKS YOU SEEK (Last update of this "Overview" on September 25, 2006)

As material included on this web site has increased--and as you will quickly see, I do not limit my conception of "labor issues" to just traditional trade unionism--I thought it might be helpful if I added a "Directory" to help you get to the information that you are most interested in reaching. Each major section on this page is listed, and by clicking on the link, you will get to where you want.

NEW ARTICLES ON AFL-CIO FOREIGN POLICY PROGRAM:

For on-going information and to join the campaign to get the AFL-CIO leadership to "open their books" about their foreign policy program, both historically and currently, and to get them to cut all ties with the misnamed "National Endowment for Democracy," see the web site of the Worker to Worker Solidarity Committee at www.workertoworker.net.

Kim Scipes, "Worker-to-Worker Solidarity Committee to AFL-CIO: Cut All Ties with NED." MRZine, April 29, 2006. On-line at http://mrzine.monthlyreview.org/scipes290406.html. I argue that the Solidarity Center's relationship to NED is toxic, and is a cancer growing on the democracy at the national level of the US labor movement, and should be rejected by all trade unionists. This article reports March 6, 2006 picket line in front of AFL-CIO headquarters in Washington, DC, after demo at National Endowment for Democracy headquarters. These actions were the latest developments in a serious of actions that have placed increasing pressure on AFL-CIO foreign policy leadership, and a quick overview to developments in the campaign are provided, with links to web-based articles. Also announces there will be a meeting sponsored by the Worker-to-Worker Solidarity Committee at the upcoming Labor Notes conference, May 5-7, in Dearborn, MI. The following article, "A Specter is Haunting the AFL-CIO's Foreign Policy Program: The Worker to Worker Solidarity Committee," MRZine, June 2, 2006 and on-line at http://mrzine.monthlyreview.org/scipes020606.html, discusses the May 6 meeting at the Labor Notes Conference, and provides the Worker to Worker Solidarity Committee's web site, which is at www.workertoworker.net. Also, you may want to see a radio interview done with Jeb Sprague on Dennis Bernstein's "Flashpoints" program on the Pacifica Radio Network--the transcript, dated June 19, 2006, has been published on-line by Upside Down World at http://upsidedownworld.org/main/content/view/327/1/.

CONTINUING DEVELOPMENTS in AFL-CIO Foreign Policy Program:

Working with the Latin American Solidarity Coalition and its Chicago-affiliate, Organizing Group to Say No to the NED, I have been for a long time (over 20 years) part of an effort to transform the AFL-CIO foreign policy program into a force for genuine international labor solidarity. (My friend, Fred Hirsch, has been doing it even longer!) At the 2005 National AFL-CIO Convention in Chicago, July 25-28, 2005, we worked to build public support for the California State AFL-CIO's "Build Unity and Trust Among Workers Worldwide" resolution, and to get it through the Convention's Resolutions Committee and out onto the Convention floor. To do this, we made public presentations, did radio and community TV interviews, and mobilized over somewhere around 120 people on a day where the temperature was 103 degrees to engage in a public demonstration, urging passage of "Build Unity and Trust."

Below is a "final report" on our campaign--including an announcement of a video about it--and a listing of a number of recent publications on AFL-CIO foreign policy that I have published recently on this issue. (For a more complete listing of writings on this subject, please go to the writings under AFL-CIO Foreign Operations--many of the more recent writings are downloadable from the web from the Worker to Worker Solidarity Committee web site at www.workertoworker.net. I have also provided a link to "Key Recent Articles on AFL-CIO Foreign Policy" immediately below.)

(August 22, 2005): ZNet published my "Reinserting Details." (Posted on-line at www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?sectionID=19&itemID=8556. This article argues that Tim Shorrock's recent publication on AFL-CIO foreign policy had left out some relevant details and that these needed to be reinserted and considered.

(August 2, 2005): ZNet published my "AFL-CIO Foreign Policy: Final Report from the Convention" on-line at www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?sectionID=19&itemID=8421. This not only gives an overview of the campaign, but tells about what happened to the resolution at the convention: it got stuffed. But it talks about the good stuff that came out of the campaign, including Fred Hirsch and myself being interviewed by Amy Goodman on Democracy Now! (which goes to over 350 radio and community TV programs around the country), and announces a video by Labor Beat that covers the highlights of the campaign.

(July 19, 2005): Monthly Review's new Webzine published a piece of mine that argues the need to distance the labor movement from the Empire: "Free Labor from the Empire: Breaking the NED-Solidarity Center Connection," MR Webzine, July 19. (Posted on-line at http://mrzine.monthlyreview.org/scipes190705.html.)

(July 10, 2005): ZNet published my piece that focuses on the relationship between the AFL-CIO and the National Endowment for Democracy: "An Unholy Alliance: The AFL-CIO and the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) in Venezuela." ZNet, July 10. (Posted on-line at www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?sectionID=19&itemID=8268.)

(July 10, 2005): I self-published "Key Recent Articles on AFL-CIO Foreign Policy" on the Chicago Indymedia site at http://chicago.indymedia.org/newswire/display_any/60035. (There has been additional items added to this listing that have been published after the initial date of July 10.)

(June 23, 2005): ZNet published my piece on AFL-CIO foreign policy titled "Are AFL-CIO Foreign Policy Leaders Engaging in Dirty Tricks? Foreign Policy Efforts Being Challenged." ZNet, June 23. (Posted on-line at www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?sectionID=19&itemID=8150.)

(May 1, 2005): Monthly Review published my piece on AFL-CIO foreign policy, titled "Labor Imperialism Redux? The AFL-CIO's Foreign Policy Since 1995." I argue that any of the so-called AFL-CIO "reform" efforts are not sufficient unless they specifically address the return to labor imperialism at the highest levels of the AFL-CIO.

(April 1, 2004): Labor Notes published my account of AFL-CIO involvement in the April 2002 coup attempt against Venezuela's democratically-elected president, Hugo Chavez: "AFL-CIO in Venezuela: Déjà Vu All Over Again," Labor Notes, April 2004 (On-line at www.counterpunch.org/scipes03292004.html.) [Incidentally, this article lists a previous web site for "surfaced" Solidarity Center documents, but that site has been subsequently reorganized: for on-line copies of a Solidarity Center-Caracas report to the National Endowment for Democracy, reporting their active involvement in bringing together the CTV (Venezuelan Workers Confederation in Spanish) and FEDECAMARAS (a business coalition)--two leading forces in the coup attempt--see www.venezuelafoia.info/ctva1.html and www.venezuelafoia.info/ctva2.html.]

BACK TO INDEX

To Subject Listings

Introduction: This labor bibliography was developed in the process of developing a course on “Contemporary Labor Issues” that I had hoped to teach during the Summer Semester of 2005 at Purdue University North Central in Westville, Indiana, but I did not get sufficient enrollment to have the course. This course was going to focus on issues I believe are central to the revitalization and growth of the US labor movement. Interestingly, as word has spread about the existence of this on-line labor bibliography, I have had to reorganize the web site somewhat to accommodate at least some of the references/suggestions I've received. I also am including works on workers around the world. This web page has continued past Summer 2005, and I hope to keep it updated fairly often over time--please check back periodically for the latest!

(If you are interested in some of my qualifications for teaching this course, such as my background and publications, please go to the "Back to Index" link at the top of this page.)

As I noted from before, this bibliography also grew out of an incredible frustration with labor academics—even self-identified “progressive” labor academics—who are writing on contemporary labor but who rarely examine, much less use, writings by labor activists, whether rank and filers, staff members, or leaders. What I’ve tried to do is locate and incorporate as many of these activists' writings as possible and make them available on a web site, so academics can no longer ignore them. This, however, is not complete. I have also sought to include works by academics who work with the labor movement on an on-going basis. I ask from each of you reading this to send me suggestions for other items to include—and yes, you can include your own work. Please send them to me at kscipes@pnc.edu. (Please keep them post-1995, unless you have very specific reasons why you think older material should be included, and send this with your suggestions. Also, it would help if you would suggest the subject heading under which they be placed and, if they are available on a web site, the specific URL.)

For a listing of union members as percentage of workforce and additional data, for 2004, go to http://www.bls.gov/news.release/union2.nr0.htm.

On-going publications where you can find writings by activists (along with engaged academics) include Labor Notes, Labor Studies Journal, Working USA, and New Labor Forum. Another excellent source for information about working people is WIN, the Workers Independent News Service, which can be accessed at http://www.laborradio.org/, or on various radio programs/networks, such as Air America. There are specific, labor-related web sites, including those of the AFL-CIO; the Association for Union Democracy (AUD); the Coalition of Labor Union Women (CLUW); the Illinois Labor History Society; the International Labor Communications Association; Labor: Studies in Working Class-Class History of the Americas; Labour Again (from the International Institute of Social History focusing on labor in Latin America); the Labor Heritage Foundation; Labor Start; Multinational Monitor, the National Labor Committee; the Northland Poster Collective; Nurses and Unions: Brownson's Nursing Notes; Substance (a wonderful site about public education policy edited by a long-time labor activist in Chicago); Union Communications Services (excellent source of material for union stewards!); US Labor Against the War; Wisconsin Labor History Society; and Z Magazine's Labor Watch site (and will add more as they become available). The AFL-CIO lists some international labor support organizations and international labor research institutes at www.afl-cio.org/aboutunions/globalunions, but you have to scroll down toward the bottom of the page. For listings of labor web sites, see this one by David Millar of University of Victory (Canada).

Just got turned on to a web site for working class movies: go to http://www.rebelgraphics.org/workingclassmovies.html.

There are a number of organizations in the US and around the world that are organizing around sweatshops and low-waged workers in general, often in the garment and textile industries. Below are some that I now know about--more will be listed as I learn about them. Noted are their names and short descriptions, usually supplied by the group/organization itself, but sometimes summed up by me: Behind the Label (Network for Local Actions Against Sweatshops); Campaign for Labor Rights (Grassroots Mobilizing Department for the US Anti-sweatshop Movement); Committee for Asian Women (a network of 30 network members in 13 Asian countries); Clean Clothes Campaign (a European network for improving conditions in the global garment industry); Global Unions (major institutions of the global trade union movement); Jobs with Justice (Campaign for Labor Rights); Labour Start (Global labor news on a daily basis); Maquiladora Solidarity Network; Asian Workers Occupational Health, Safety and Environment Institute (a project of Global Unions); Sweatshop Watch (focuses on low-wage workers globally and nationally, but especially in California); United Students Against Sweatshops (the name says it all!); and UNITE-HERE (the major union in North American hospitality and garment industries). And don't forget to visit the afore-mentioned National Labor Committee, whose slogan is "Putting a Human Face on the Global Economy." For a fascinating--and excellent--comparison between the development of United Students Against Sweatshops (USAS) and Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) of the 1960s, written by one heavily involved in SDS who looks for similarities and differences in the development of the two organizations, see the 2004 article by Robert J.S. Ross, "From Antisweatshop to Global Justice to Antiwar: How the New Left is the Same and Different From the Old New Left."

For a collection of linked articles on the various Proposals for Restructuring the Labor Movement, including articles on the New Unity Partnership, see the Labor Notes collection at http://www.labornotes.org/nupdiscussion/index.html. For the best single analysis of the overall problems of the labor movement--not just discussion about restructuring and/or dues remittances to unions organizing--see Jerry Tucker's piece dated March 21, 2005, and titled "U.S. Labor in Crisis: The Current Internal Debate and the Role of Democracy in Its Revitalization." (See my new section on the Chicago Convention in July 2005 and AFTERMATH to look at outcomes of split in the AFL-CIO.)

Regarding the entries: I have not read all of them as of now, although I have read many. I've included sources if I'm familiar with that author's other works and think anything by that author is worth considering. I've included material that I've seen cited favorably by others who I respect. And some, simply, looked interesting to me and worth checking out. Each should be read critically.

SUBJECT LISTINGS

I have grouped materials by general subject, although I imagine some folks might quibble with placement. In any case, I have changed this bibliography so as to allow me more leeway in what I can include. I now have three categories, with most of the works on the first two pertaining to the US: (1) Changes in the US Labor Movement; (2) Affects of Industrial Restructuring on Labor; and (3) Workers around the world.

SECTION 1, Changes in the US Labor Movement: AFL-CIO Foreign Operations; Central Labor Councils; Community Organizing/Organizations; Electoral Politics; General; Immigrant Workers; International Labor Solidarity; Labor Communications, Labor Democracy; Labor Education, Labor History; Labor Organizing; Labor Revitalization; Labor Theory, Race; Shopfloor Organizing/Struggles; Specific Labor Organizations and/or Struggles; and Women Workers. Note that I do not generally refer to the Industrial Relations literature—my focus is activism from a rank and file empowerment perspective—and I do not focus on labor law: these are areas that others know much more about and focus on more intently. Also, while I do include a few historical sources, in general it is only because I think there is something specific we can learn from the past that might be worth considering today. NEW ADDITION: In light of the split in the AFL-CIO at and around the Chicago Convention in July 2005, I have added a number of new entries that discuss this, either in anticipation or as part of an analysis of ramifications. NEW ADDITION, May 6, 2008: There is growing contestation within SEIU (Service Employees International Union) over its direction, so I've set up a new section on SEIU to share some of the materials I am aware of.

SECTION 2, Affects of Industrial Restructuring on Labor and Working People. This will be developed in general and by industry, although probably won't be real detailed. Automobile, Garments/Textiles, Grocery Work/Distribution, Hotels and Hospitality, Nursing Homes, and Telecommunications

SECTION 3, Workers Around the World. General Overview, and countries covered include Barbados, Brazil, Canada, China, Indonesia, Mexico, The Philippines, South Africa, South Korea, Thailand, United Kingdom, and Venezuela.

In short, this is my idiosyncratic effort to provide references that I think can help us shed light on and address issues that I think are critical to labor’s well-being in the US, and at least somewhat, around the world.. I hope it will be widely shared and used. It will be periodically updated, as I get the time and new material. Please send suggestions as to what might be added.
