Unions in America

At NSSC, Northfield Location:

Gary Midkiff, College Professor

Workers were being exploited in America even as we proclaimed our Declaration of Independence. The journey toward effective organizing was bloody and painful and often at odds with the opinions of much of the American population, as well as both State and Federal governments. Yet working people understood that they could only achieve more just and fair conditions and wages by showing strength through solidarity. Historian Gary Midkiff will review and analyze the union movement in our country and the debt we owe to people such as Samuel Gompers and Walter Reuther.
