SPEAKERS BUREAU

Starting in the fall, 1999, the Labor Studies Program will coordinate speakers for local  schools, since our point of view seldom gets a full expression in any classes. Volunteer union members will be available for presentations on a wide range of topics in the schools. The program will be advertised to every teacher in the state, in areas like history, civics, and social studies. Selected videos are also available with the speakers, who are available at no cost to the teachers or school system.  Typical topics are: 

• Current events—ongoing situations in bargaining 
• Organizing campaigns 
• New technology—what are the human consequences? 
• Women and Work 
• Immigrants and the Workplace 
• Labor Law 
• Labor History 
• Labor’s Political Campaigns 
• Are the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer? If so, what can we do? 

Anyone interested in volunteering as a speaker, or any teacher who needs a speaker, call Bill Barry at (410) 285-2703.
