Description

Ellen David Friedman was a union organizer in Vermont for 25 years, a founder of the Vermont Progressive Party and the Vermont Workers Center,  and a “union democracy” activist before she “redeployed” to China. For the last five years she has been teaching labor studies as a Visiting Lecturer at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, and involved in the Chinese labor movement at various levels. In this talk she will give first-hand accounts of the historical strike wave that hit the Chinese auto industry last summer and compare it to the insurgency underway now in Wisconsin, Indiana and Ohio. Sponsored by St Michael's Student Labor Action Movement (SLAP).
