Brown Bag Series - Our Daily Work/ Our Daily Lives
(Public Programs) This week's presentation is titled, "Collision Course: The 1981 Air Traffic Controllers Strike and the Decline of Collective Bargaining in the U.S.," presented by Joseph McCartin from the History Department at Georgetown University. "Our Daily Work / Our Daily Lives" is a joint project that focuses on the artistic traditions of workers and on workplaces as contexts for the expression of workers culture. The richness and diversity of workers' experiences and workers culture is explored and presented through an ongoing series of exhibits, lectures, and presentations; writing and research projects; reunions; and demonstrations and discussions. The program was established in 1992 and is coordinated by the Michigan Traditional Arts Program at the MSU Museum and the Labor Education Program in the College of Social Science's School of Human Resources and Labor Relations.
