Seeking Panelists for "Public Work under Neoliberalism"

[puya....@yale.edu]

Hi all,

I’m a grad student in the History Department at Yale and Education Director at 1199 New England. Looking for those interested in contributing to a panel about the transformation of public workers, public unions, and public services in the US over the last four decades, when the neoliberal agenda centering on austerity, markets, and labor discipline gained ascendancy. My paper explores the intertwined development of state employee unionism and the privatization project in the Northeastern US from the 1970s through the 1990s.

Please reply here or at puya....@yale.edu if you’re interested. 

Thanks / in solidarity,

Puya

Puya,

   I'd be interested in adding something like The Struggle for Participatory Democracy in Public Work in Pennsylvania: SEIU 668 since 1971

   I'm Professor of History emeritus, Edinboro University, and author of Union Power: The United Electrical Workers  in Erie, Pennsylvania (Monthly Review, 2017)

In solidarity,
