Labor panels for ASA 2020 open for submission

11/21/2019

The ASA has opened the 'submission' links for next summer's meeting. LLM will host two open panels, plus roundtables. Please note that the session themes parallel the themes for the LLM miniconference. We hope that any papers that aren't accommodated in the regular section panels will be submitted for the miniconference, planned for August 7th in the Bay Area (the day before the ASA conference opens in San Francisco)..More details coming soon.
“New Challenges for Labor”
Organizer: Barry Eidlin, McGill University
As most labor scholars today acknowledge, the past three decades have posed stark new challenges for labor movements; deregulation combined with changing labor processes and an increasingly global economy have weakened unions in much of the world, both in terms of protecting union members and representing broader community interests. This panel invites papers that examine labor’s new challenges across sectors and contexts, and discussing activists’ varied responses to those challenges.
“New Strategies for Labor”
Organizer: Jeff Rothstein, Grand Valley State University
Over the past decade, labor activists around the world have pursued new strategies for mobilizing and representing workers. This panel seeks papers that describe new organizing strategies for labor, whether in sectors or communities lacking well-established unions, where previously-established unions have been prompted to explore new strategies, or in places where workers lack the right to form their own unions. From workers’ centers and minimum wage campaigns, to efforts to mobilize broad community support “for the common good” and to otherwise gain a voice for workers in the workplace and the economy, the panel will highlight and explore innovative labor strategies in the 21st century.

Labor Roundtables
Organizer: Gay Seidman, University of Wisconsin-Madison

Petition asking ASA to commit to unionized venues

11/15/2019

Last month, many of us received an e-mail soliciting input about how to select locations for future ASA meetings. Several LLM members have expressed concern that the survey's wording could undermine the ASA's historic commitment to seeking unionized venues for its events.

Barry Eidlin, Katy Fox-Hodes and Zachary Levenson have launched a petition calling on the ASA to affirm its commitment to upholding labor rights. If you would like to support this initiative, you can read the petition and sign on here:

https://www.change.org/p/american-sociological-association-council-american-sociological-association-reaffirm-our-commitment-to-labor-rights

Please feel free to forward this message to any ASA members who might be interested, including section distribution lists.
