(From a LinkedIn Post in Mid September 2011)
No matter where you stand on management/labor relations, the history of Unions in the United Sates is fascinating and their role in modern American society continues to impact its economics, politics and culture.
In 2010, award wining author, Philip Dray, wrote an encompassing history entitled: There Power in a Union, which has been reviewed as “big”, “bold”, and “gripping.”
Given his research, Mr. Dray has been sought out by national media for comment on current issues relating to Unions. An example of this is in the attached interview from NPR on “Putting Wisconsin's Union Battle In Historical Context.”
Next week, in the evening of September 22nd, the Western Museum of Mining (www.wmmi.org/BookingRetrieve.aspx?ID=140229) will host Mr. Dray as part of their Heritage Lecture Series. It promises to provide unique insight for historians, and I think, an important overview of this subject for any business owner heading into an election year where our politicians will be discussing this issue.
