“Worker Rights and Wrongs” is the theme of the 2016 Untold Stories series of labor history programs sponsored by The Friends of the Saint Paul Public Library.
Strikes have played a critical role in the development and growth of unions in both the private and public sectors, but have virtually disappeared in recent years, while unions have shrunk and inequality has grown. What can we learn from the historical role of strikes in Minnesota and in the United States? Join the discussion with Joe Burns, author of Reviving the Strike: How Working People Can Regain Power and Transform America and Strike Back: Using the Militant Tactics of Labor’s Past to Reignite Public Sector Unionism Today. A veteran union negotiator and labor lawyer, he has bargained contracts in the airline and health care industries.
