Unions in America

At NSSC, Northfield Location: 

Gary Midkiff, College Professor



Workers were being exploited in America even as we
proclaimed our Declaration of Independence. The journey toward effective
organizing was bloody and painful and often at odds with the opinions of much
of the American population, as well as both State and Federal governments. Yet
working people understood that they could only achieve more just and fair
conditions and wages by showing strength through solidarity. Historian Gary
Midkiff will review and analyze the union movement in our country and the debt
we owe to people such as Samuel Gompers and Walter Reuther.
