SUMMARY:Lessons from the History of “Open Shop” Laws
DESCRIPTION:OWLS Meeting\nTuesday\, February 23\, 6:30pm\n\nIn honor of Black History Month\, OWLS looks at the rise of anti-worker laws in the 1940s in response to the successful\, anti-racist organizing of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO). These laws first emerged in the U.S. South\, as unions experienced rapid growth and Black workers played a leading role. Anti-worker forces countered the CIO with deceitfully- named “Right-to-Work” legislation\, backed by wealthy industrialists who also opposed women’s suffrage\, integration and child labor laws. Labor scholar Don Larson looks at this history and draws lessons for today’s battles against ultra-right groups like the Freedom Foundation.\nJoin the meeting on zoom by going to bit.ly/Register4OWLSMeeting
