Episode Radio Special on UE defeating McCarthyism in Small Massachusetts Town Cover

Radio Special on UE defeating McCarthyism in Small Massachusetts Town

In honor of Labor Day, earlier this week, we reaired a New England Public Media special produced by Ian Coss and hosted by local public historian Tom Goldscheider. "This project is every historian's dream," said Goldscheider. "I stumbled onto a cache of union meeting records and newspaper clippings from the 1940s that allowed me to reassemble a piece of local history that had been completely forgotten. The story of what happened in Greenfield is really a window onto a much larger story that speaks to possibilities in our present day. Manufacturing and democratic labor unions are in the news again. I also see this as a cautionary tale about how unions can be divided and defeated, or not; and about what happens when the rule of law is subverted to a hyper-partisan political agenda. History matters!"

Episode Veteran UE Organizer Chris Townsend Talks Organizing Surge in Northern Virginia Cover

Veteran UE Organizer Chris Townsend Talks Organizing Surge in Northern Virginia

Chris Townsend is a veteran union organizer who has lived in Virginia for 20 years. He previously served as the UE's Political action director and the ATU's Organizing Director. Over the past five years, he has seen an upsurge in organizing in Northern Virginia. "I was the organizing director for the Amalgamated Transit Union and in a period of several years, in Virginia, we organized 16 new units. We hadn't done 16 of anything in this state for a long time," says Townsend. Townsend thinks that yesterday's victory of 27,000 teachers voting to unionize in Fairfax County, Virginia, could inspire teachers elsewhere. "If they can prevail on their internal union structures, to take a serious look at health care organizing here in Fairfax County in Northern Virginia, they will find a tremendous opportunity," says Townsend. Listen to the veteran union organizer describe how things are changing in Virginia and what this means for the presidential election.
