大家好，伯克利分校劳工与就业研究中心副主任、国际劳工中心主任关少兰女士将为BCR (Berkeley China Review) 就她长期组织美国华人工人的经历及对华人工人组织的研究举办一次座谈。关女士是美国著名的劳工问题专家，她的研究包括世界劳工运动、移民工人及妇女工人权益的维护等方面。近年来她非常关注中国工会的发展，致力于中外工会的交流，在中国取得了很大的反响。她的事迹见诸许多工会书籍：自1974年从伯克利毕业之后一直投身于美国工人运动，做过纽约唐人街的纺织女工，华人工人组织者以及美国工会领袖。在回到伯克利之前，她曾经担任过美国纺织品贸易及产业工会（UNITE）的副主席。
这次的演讲，关女士将和大家分享她多年以来组织华人工人的经历及她对美国工会和草根社团的认识。她将借鉴美国的经验，分析得失，提出自己对当前中国工会建设及草根社团的思考。
请大家及早email berkeleyc...@gmail.com，留下名字及联系方式，以便于购买食物、准备名牌及今后接收BCR活动通知。欢迎您及您的朋友参与我们的讨论，详情如下。
