Some of what's new in labor history

 From the Labor and Working Class History Association (LAWCHA):

More interesting posts are up on the Labor Online blog to check out as April rolls along!

· Nelson Lichtenstein interviews Salem Elzway and Jason Resnikoff, co-authors of the article “Whence Automation: The History (and Possible Futures) of a Concept” published in Labor: Studies in Working Class History’s recent special issue (March 2024) on “Labor and Science.”

· Jacob Remes offers a compelling personal account of his experiences organizing with Contract Faculty United - United Auto Workers (Local 7902) – at New York University and connects to radical legacies from his family’s past.

· Jonathan Victor Baldoza reflects on photos from his recent article, “Science as Routine: Work and Labor in the Bureau of Science at Manila,” also from the recent special issue on labor and science from the journal. This excellent article will be available for free download for the next three months from the journal website.

· Robin Lindley interviews Harvey Schwartz, curator of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Oral History Collection, about a recent book on the former president of the union, “Big” Bob McEllrath, entitled: Labor Under Siege: Big Bob McEllrath and the ILWU’s Fight for Organized Labor in an Anti-Union Era (2022).

· Julie Greene has recently assumed the editorship of Labor and was interviewed by Maia Silber in the latest LAWCHA newsletter. Labor Online has published an expanded version of that interview here.
