When you hear the words “child labor,” your mind may go to the turn-of-the-century photographs taken by Jacob Riis and Lewis Hine of the grim lives of tiny laborers toiling in mines and urban sweatshops. But recent news reports have revealed that child labor is alive and well in the United States in 2023. Jack Hodgson, a visiting professor in history at the University of Roehampton, joins the Belabored podcast to discuss child labor throughout U.S. history and in the context of labor and civil rights struggles that continue to this day.
Late last year, SAG-AFTRA introduced two new podcast contracts that make it easy for producers to be flexible and creative in covering their podcasts at all budgets. Sue-Anne Morrow, National Director/Contract Strategic Initiatives & Podcasts at SAG-AFTRA, walks us through the details of these new agreements on the SAG-AFTRA podcast.
From On The Line: Stories of BC Workers a remarkable but relatively unknown chapter of working-class solidarity. While waves of sympathy strikes to support the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike took place across Canada, the most pronounced of these was in Vancouver, B.C. Even after workers returned to their jobs, 325 women telephone operators stayed out for another two weeks.
Our final segment today is from Labor History Today. A few weeks in the little town of Windber, Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Labor History Society and The Battle of Homestead Foundation were holding their “Annual Commemoration of the History of Working People” a daylong program on the United Mine Workers’ 1922-23 Windber strike for union recognition, discussions on “Women in Coal and Steel” and “John Brophy and Labor Education”.
