25 Years of Labor Notes Helps Rank and File Weather Employer-led Storm by Jane Slaughter, Labor Notes
When we published the first issue of Labor Notes in February 1979, we didn’t know what we and the labor movement were in for.
At the time, our purpose was much as it is now: to link together activists in different unions and locations, providing information and analysis to support their work. We knew about rank-and-file labor activists across the United States -- in the Steelworkers, the Auto Workers, the Teamsters -- who didn’t have a good way to know about each other. Labor Notes would help them to communicate. The coal miners’ strike of 1978 and the massive solidarity it received indicated that some workers were looking for a fight.------------------------------------------- posted 8:55 AM :: reference link ::
