La bataille de l'Overpass est un affrontement marquant qui s'est déroulé le 26 mai 1937 à Dearborn, dans le Michigan, aux États-Unis. Cet événement illustre la lutte acharnée entre les syndicats ouvriers et les grandes entreprises industrielles durant la Grande Dépression. Plus précisément, il s'agit d'un conflit entre l'United Auto Workers (UAW), un syndicat cherchant à représenter les ouvriers de l'industrie automobile, et la puissante Ford Motor Company, dirigée par Henry Ford, farouchement opposé à toute syndicalisation de ses employés. À l'époque, l'industrie automobile américaine est dominée par des entreprises comme General Motors, Chrysler et Ford, qui tentent par tous les moyens de limiter l'influence des syndicats. GM et Chrysler avaient déjà reconnu l'UAW, mais Ford résistait fermement, utilisant des méthodes brutales pour empêcher la syndicalisation de ses travailleurs. Le 26 mai 1937, des représentants de l'UAW, dont le célèbre syndicaliste Walter Reuther, se rendent sur un pont piétonnier (overpass) menant à l'usine de la Rouge de Ford, afin de distribuer des tracts et d'encourager les ouvriers à se syndiquer. C'est alors qu'ils sont attaqués par des membres de la Ford Service Department, une milice privée employée par Ford et dirigée par Harry Bennett, un homme réputé pour ses méthodes musclées. Les hommes de Bennett frappent brutalement les syndicalistes, sous l'œil des photographes présents, ce qui entraîne une couverture médiatique immédiate. Des images de syndicalistes roués de coups, ensanglantés et jetés au sol circulent dans la presse nationale, suscitant une vague d'indignation dans l'opinion publique. Ford, qui jusque-là jouissait d'une image paternaliste et bienveillante, voit sa réputation ternie par ces violences. Malgré la brutalité de la répression, l'événement marque un tournant dans la lutte syndicale. En 1941, face à la pression populaire et à l'essor des syndicats, Ford est finalement contraint de reconnaître l'UAW, accordant ainsi aux ouvriers le droit de se syndiquer et d'améliorer leurs conditions de travail. La bataille de l'Overpass est devenue un symbole de la résistance des travailleurs face aux abus des grandes entreprises et un jalon important dans l'histoire du mouvement ouvrier américain. Elle rappelle que les conquêtes sociales ont souvent été obtenues au prix de luttes acharnées contre des forces puissantes et bien établies. Hébergé par Acast.

Walter Reuther's name is forever linked to Detroit, Michigan, where he and his brother Victor built the United Automobile Workers -- the UAW -- into one of the largest and most progressive labor unions in American history. In Wheeling, West Virginia, where he was born on September 1, 1907, Reuther is a hometown boy who made good. Each year for the last eight years, the Wheeling Academy of Law and Science Foundation (WALS) has organized the Reuther-Pollack Labor History Symposium on Labor Day weekend. The annual event also celebrates the life and work of local stogie maker -- and union supporter -- Augustus Pollack. LHT producers Chris Garlock and Patrick Dixon drove out to Wheeling last Friday to cover the symposium, which included presentations by “Shift Happens” author J. Albert Mann, labor journalist Hamilton Nolan, West Virginia Mine Wars Museum co-founder Lou Martin and the Pittsburgh Labor Choir. We'll be sharing audio from those presentations in upcoming shows. West Virginia historian Hal Gorby led a walking tour on Saturday to statues of both Reuther and Pollack in a park along the Ohio River in downtown Wheeling. The noontime walk was interrupted by an intense but thankfully brief mountain thunderstorm, so you'll hear the rain and thunder in the background as we took shelter and the intrepid Dr. Gorby continued his local history talk beneath his oversized umbrella. On this week's Labor History in Two: the year was 1921. On that day the “Battle of Blair Mountain” raged in Logan County, West Virginia.

This final episode of Organize the Unorganized is devoted to key lessons of the CIO moment. All of the guests on this program were asked about this basic question, and we try to represent all of their answers on this episode. The negative lessons, points where guests were keen to note the differences between the 30s and the present moment, focused on the changed economic situation and the issue of labor law. The more positive lessons pertained to union democracy, overcoming divisions in the working class, mass organizing, raising expectations, and seizing the moment.

On the second episode of Organized the Unorganized, we kick things off with an account of the institutional formation of the CIO, and then get to the organization's key personalities. John L. Lewis, the founding president of and driving force behind the CIO, unsurprisingly gets a fair amount of time, and we focus in particular on the reasons for his bold leadership at this decisive moment in history. We also introduce Sidney Hillman, the only other real center of power in the organization besides Lewis in the early CIO, as well as some of the key organizers of the CIO, most of whom hailed from the United Mine Workers of America.

The Life and Times of Walter Reuther: An Unfinished Liberal Legacy by James Ten EyckThe Life and Times of Walter Reuther recounts the events and social movements that have shaped modern America and the role Walter Reuther played in many of them. For over thirty years Reuther and his United Automobile Workers Union were in the vanguard of voices advancing economic and social policies that raised the standard of living for many Americans. Reuther serves as a lens through which a period of labor advances, civil rights struggle, and hot and cold war are viewed. The book traces the formative years of the Reuther brothers in Wheeling and follows Walter and Victor Reuther's European adventure to their ancestral homeland during the rise of Hitler and into the Gorky Autoworks factory in Soviet Russia. The pair returned home to help lead the labor battles in Flint and Dearborn that established a UAW presence in the factories and ultimately brought Walter Reuther to the bargaining table to negotiate historic labor agreements. Reuther's story includes assassination attempts, confrontations with Senator Goldwater and Nikita Khrushchev, and a presence on the national and world stage for a quarter of a century. The book also discusses attitudes toward immigration and race throughout the twentieth century that echo in our discourse today.James Ten Eyck received a B.S. ion Mathematics from Lafayette College in 1963. After graduation he worked at IBM, Endicott for five years before leaving to obtain a Ph.D. In Physics. He began an academic career that included adding an M.S. in Computer Science from WPI and retiring after a twenty-five year tenure at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, NY. While at Syracuse he met and married his wife Veronica and welcomed the couple's only child, David.https://www.amazon.com/Life-Times-Walter-Reuther-Unfinished/dp/1960946161https://jamesteneyck.com/http://www.Crown888Press.com http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/11124jtecr.mp3

On September 15, 2023, workers from the United Auto Workers union went on strike at Ford Motor Company, General Motors, and Stellantis simultaneously, quickly expanding to include tens of thousands of workers at automobile factories throughout the United States. Founded by visionary and then UAW president Walter Reuther, At its founding, the union focused on better wages and conditions for all working-class Americans, not just union members. Current UAW president Shawn Fain has channeled much of founding UAW president Walter Reuther's rhetoric in championing benefits for all workers and pushing for government support of electric car manufacturing jobs. In what has been a historic year for unions and labor movements throughout the United States, we sit down with Dr. Nelson Lichtenstein to discuss the history of the UAW and what this strike means for the American working class. What does this strike reveal about current relations between the working and elite classes, and how will the UAW strike and demands play into political and labor discourse in the coming years? Nelson Lichtenstein is a Research Professor in the Department of History at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he also serves as the director of the Center for the Study of Work, Labor, and Democracy. He is the author of numerous books, including “State of the Union: A Century of American Labor” (published in 2002 and revised in 2013). His most recent book, “A Fabulous Failure: The Clinton Presidency and the Transformation of American Capitalism” which he co-authored with the late Judith Stein, was published in 2023 by Princeton University Press.

Hello from the negotiating table! This week, it's just us, talking more hot labor summer and a bit about poetry (Tammy recommends the work of Mai Der Vang!). [9:00] After 146 days on strike, the Writers Guild of America, which represents about 11,000 screenwriters, announced on Sunday that they'd reached a tentative agreement with the AMPTP studio group. (Forgive the timing of this ep: the WGA released details of the tentative agreement on Tuesday night, after we had recorded; members will still have to vote on the deal.) [23:00] Meanwhile, as one strike (maybe) ends, another expands! Nearly 20,000 United Auto Workers members across 40 states have walked off the job to demand a fairer share of record profits from the Big 3 automakers, seeking to reverse Great Recession-era losses and prove the might of a new and improved UAW. In this episode, we ask: Why does so much of the public support the WGA strike, a white-collar union whose ranks include very highly paid (less sympathetic?) members? How sturdy is the very new, seemingly democratic operation of the UAW under Shawn Fain?Can this union wave bring back American manufacturing, or are we just buying time before another big offshoring push? What's with EVs and the enviro dimensions of car-making?

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
We throttle down on Tuesday as we rip into the week talking about a gross profit decline among the publics. We also get a little deeper on UAW President Shawn Fain as well as a new city created from scratch in San Francisco.Show Notes with links:As projected earlier this summer, F&I profits per vehicle are dropping and 4 of the 6 publicly traded groups report proof in their Q2 earnings. CFO Joe Lower said on a July 21 earnings call that AutoNation averages more than two products per deal, which has led to more than 70 percent of its F&I profits coming from products.Analysts point to affordability issues impacting customers' ability to purchase protection products and falling vehicle prices impacting rate markup profitability.Continued lifts in F&I profits are expected as online retailing continues to grow.AutoNation and Lithia both cited strong growth in their captive finance arms and expect them to drive future profitability.As the strike rhetoric between the UAW and Detroit's Big 3 keeps heating up, many are working to learn more about the rather blunt personality. A WSJ article over the weekend took a deeper dive into the background, preferences, and quirks that make UAW President Shawn Fain tick.Grew up in a politically active family, father was a local policeman , mother was a nurseStarted his career as a union electrician for ChryslerCarries one of his grandfathers paystubs from the 1940's First candidate to unseat the incumbent in 70 years, won by 1%Appreciates Legacy: Frequently references Walter Reuther, the 1940s union boss.Influenced by Varied Figures: Counts civil-rights activist John Lewis and college-basketball coach John Wooden among his inspirations.Music Taste: Fan of '90s hip-hop, entered a rally to Eminem's “Not Afraid.”Independence: When asked about his role model, he emphasizes his individuality, stating, "I am who I am."Watches the TV show “Ted Lasso” with his daughter.Made a sarcastic remark about Indiana being known for "cornfields and communism" when asked about a comment linking him to Trotsky.Owns a placard that reads: “I don't sugar coat s—.

NAACP President Roy O. Wilkins isthe first speaker captured on this recording. He gives a long report on the significance of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, which had taken place earlier in the day. Following Wilkins were A. Philip Randolph, a fixture in the labor field and the leader of the March on Washington; Whitney M. Young Jr., director of the National Urban League; Walter Reuther, president of the United Auto Workers (UAW); Reverend Eugene Carson Blake, the leader of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and former president of the National Council of Churches; Floyd McKissick, national chairman of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE); and Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). The emphasis in this meeting was clearly on the “Jobs” part of the “March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom,” as most of the participants emphasized the necessity of a powerful FEPC to address employment discrimination and the importance of education and job training programs in an era when automation struck fear into the hearts of workers and economists alike. President Kennedy emphasized the need to get Republican support for the bill and the danger of going too far. He was especially concerned about gaining the favor of House Minority Leader Charles A. “Charlie” Halleck [R–Indiana] and William M. “Bill” McCulloch [R–Ohio], the ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee, who Kennedy believed was the key to securing the necessary 60 Republican votes in the House—although Kennedy repeatedly referred to him mistakenly as “McClintoch” in this recording.

For our second episode on the history of the discipline of Cybernetics and its relationship to the labor movement, we dive a little deeper into what Cybernetics actually is. We discuss the way Cybernetics seeks to bridge varying disciplines and systems and examine their interrelations, paralleling the dialectical way of looking at the world in Marxism. We also discuss Norbert Wiener's attempt to use his newly formed discipline of cybernetics to help labor, by reaching out to Walter Reuther and the UAW about the perils of approaching automation. Upcoming episodes will discuss the work of W. Ross Ashby, another of the early founders of cybernetics, and his work on the concept of Variety.

BlackFacts.com presents the black fact of the day for June 19. Solidarity Day March In November 1967 civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., and the staff of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) met and decided to launch a Poor People's Campaign to highlight and find solutions to many of the problems facing the country's poor. The Poor People's Campaign was still in the planning stages when King was assassinated in April 1968. The plan for the march was that protestors would come together in Washington, D.C., and demonstrate daily from May 14 to June 24, 1968. June 19th was declared Solidarity Day, and a rally was held, attracting between 50–100,000 people. Addresses were made by Ralph Abernathy, Hubert Humphrey, Eugene McCarthy, Walter Reuther as well as Coretta Scott-King. In 1969, a Poor People's Campaign delegation, including Abernathy, met with President Nixon and asked him to address hunger and malnutrition. The 2nd Solidarity March came near the 10 year anniversary of the first and drew between 250,000 and 325,000 people. Learn black history, teach black history at blackfacts.com
Part seven (and the last) of our seven-part series on the life and work of Walter Reuther with the Cars and Comrades podcast. Patreon content (the first hour before the theme song) left in as a bonus. Who was Walter Reuther and why might he be important to leftist car enthusiasts? Walter was a labor organizer who became the President of the United Auto Workers (UAW) as well as the Congress of Industrial Organisations (CIO). Walter had a broad vision for what the labor movement could achieve for working people and he was at the forefront of the labor struggle throughout most of the 20th century. Walter was a Socialist, although he was very much against communism. In this deep dive, we take an honest look at both the successes and failures of Walter's approach to improving the lives of working people. For additional context, refer back to our past episodes that touched on The Battle of the Overpass and our series on DRUM: The Dodge Revolutionary Union Movement. There will be several more episodes in this series (at least 6), so buckle up and join us along the road to revolution.

Actor Spencer Garrett joins Mase & Sue on the #CulturePopPodcast to talk about his role in Adam McKay's WINNING TIME on HBO. Spencer plays Lakers legendary play-by-play man Chick Hearn, and he did a lot of research into the life and career of the broadcast icon. He also talks about his work in movies like BOMBSHELL (in which he plays Sean Hannity), THE FRONT RUNNER (in which he plays Bob Woodward) and ALL THE WAY (in which he plays Walter Reuther). He is an actor's actor, and it's a great conversation.

Nicole Lamberson is a Physician Assistant residing in Virginia. She obtained a BS at James Madison University in 2000 and then went on to complete the Master of Physician Assistant program at Eastern Virginia Medical School in 2004. She practiced in Urgent Care and Occupational Medicine settings until severe illness from prescribed psychiatric medication polypharmacy and a subsequent protracted withdrawal syndrome left her unable to work. Aside from her role with Medicating Normal doing marketing, distribution and outreach, she co-founded The Withdrawal Project, an effort of the nonprofit, Inner Compass Initiative. She also serves on the Medical Advisory Board of Benzodiazepine Information Coalition and is a founding member of the Colorado Consortium's Benzodiazepine Action Work Group. She also founded and co-administrates a small support group for those injured by prescribed psychiatric medication. In the future, Nicole hopes to practice again with a focus on prescribed medication withdrawal management and also participate in education initiatives around psychiatric drug withdrawal for medical prescribers.Award-winning filmmaker, and co-director/producer of Medicating Normal, Lynn Cunningham produced, directed and edited films/TV for PBS and the History Channel in the 1980s and 90s (A Quiet Revolution: The Emergence of Alternative Education in Japan; Twenty Years of Co-Education; A Family in Progress; An Innovator's Story, Behind the Scenes, Walter Reuther & the Birth of the UAW, Tadao Ando, Butoh: A Body on the Edge of Crisis, etc).Twenty years ago, as she was becoming a parent herself, Lynn witnessed with crushing despair the dramatic transformation of a beloved family member. Once a bright, high-functioning scholar/athlete having graduated from an elite college, Lynn's relative had become in a few short years– a terrified, suicidal shell of her former self— diagnosed with serious mental illness. Putting their faith in the best psychiatric standard of care at the time in the late 90s, Lynn and her family were initially reassured by the relief and stability provided by medication and therapy. After a ten-year period, however, one medicine had become ten, and income from a vibrant, self-sufficient career was replaced with monthly disability payments. Unable to provide an answer to her relative's persistent self-doubt, “Is everything going to be OK?”” Lynn began searching for answers. She joined with her filmmaking partner Wendy Ractliffe, embarking on five years of research into the complex world of mental health treatment. After discovering Robert Whitaker's Anatomy of an Epidemic, they interviewed 100s of psychiatric patients and consulted with scores of experts across the country about their experiences. A personal quest to help one suffering individual turned into a mission to tell an untold story. In Medicating Normal, Lynn and Wendy began to piece together a stunning new perspective on the safety and efficacy of psychiatric drugs and society's over reliance on them to relieve pain and suffering.https://medicatingnormal.com/http://withdrawal.theinnercompass.org/http://www.theinnercompass.org/http://www.benzoinfo.com/https://corxconsortium.org/work-groups/benzodiazepine/***********************************Please visit our podcast website at https://therehab.comAnd Dr. Leeds' professional website at https://drleeds.comThank you!
Founded in 2021, the Center for Antiracist Education's (CARE) mission is to equip antiracist educators with the knowledge and curriculum to create schools and classrooms that push back on the destructive legacy of racism. Our co-host Val, serves as their academic director in her day job. They recently released a framework for antiracist education that provides teachers and school leaders with concrete, actionable steps to take in their journey towards being antiracist. These steps are organized by the five CARE Principles- the core areas that CARE believes require attention in order to move towards antiracism. They are: Affirm the dignity and humanity of all people. Embrace historical truths. Develop a critical consciousness. Recognize race and confront racism. Create just systems. The framework presents actionable steps related to each principle, with indicators that specify the associated knowledge, skills and behaviors required. And while this framework is designed for teachers and school leaders, the lessons are more broadly applicable, and really serve as a guide to living an antiracist life. We're joined by CARE Professional Development Specialist, Brittany Brazzel, who contributed to the framework to discuss.

Part four of our deep dive into the life and work of Walter Reuther with the Cars and Comrades. Who was Walter Reuther and why might he be important to leftist car enthusiasts? Walter was a labor organizer who became the President of the United Auto Workers (UAW) as well as the Congress of Industrial Organisations (CIO). Walter had a broad vision for what the labor movement could achieve for working people and he was at the forefront of the labor struggle throughout most of the 20th century. Walter was a Socialist, although he was very much against communism. In this deep dive, we take an honest look at both the successes and failures of Walter's approach to improving the lives of working people.

In this episode, Jeremi and Zachary are joined by Dr. Nelson Lichtenstein to discuss the history of work and labor organization in the United States. Zachary sets the scene with his poem entitled "Soon to be But Not Yet" Nelson Lichtenstein is Distinguished Professor of History at the University of California, Santa Barbara. There he directs the Center for the Study of Work, Labor, and Democracy, which he founded in 2004 to train a new generation of labor intellectuals. A historian of labor, political economy, and ideology, he is the author or editor of 16 books, including a biography of the labor leader Walter Reuther and State of the Union: A Century of American Labor. His most recent books are Achieving Workers' Rights in the Global Economy (2016); The Port Huron Statement: Sources and Legacies of the New Left's Founding Manifesto (2015); The ILO From Geneva to the Pacific Rim (2015); A Contest of Ideas: Capital, Politics, and Labor (2013); The Right and Labor in America: Politics, Ideology, and Imagination (2012); The Retail Revolution: How Wal-Mart Created a Brave New World of Business (2009); and American Capitalism: Social Thought and Political Economy in the Twentieth Century (2006). Lichtenstein is currently writing a history of economic thought and policymaking in the administration of Bill Clinton. With Gary Gerstle and Alice O'Connor he has edited Beyond the New Deal Order: From the Great Depression to the Great Recession. He writes for Dissent, Jacobin, New Labor Forum, and American Prospect. Lichtenstein recently published an article in Dissent: "Is This A Strike Wave," (October 25, 2021). This episode of This is Democracy was mixed and mastered by Karoline Pfeil and Morgan Honaker.
Chrysalis S1E22 (3 Oct 94) vs. The Jem'Hadar S2E26 (12 Jun 94)-Matt & Bob recorded a podcast episode on the penultimate television episodes of B5 S1 & DS9 S2, but Matt blacked out for 24 hours and lost all memory of "Legacies" and "Tribunal". He also keeps having flashbacks of torture and probing.-Bob's favorite Faustian narratives are Christopher Marlowe Dr. Faustus (1592), Goethe Faust Pt. 1 (1808), Lord Byron Manfred (1817), Herman Melville Moby-Dick (1851), & Oscar Wilde Dorian Gray (1891)-Bob speculates that B5 may be the first show to tell a whole narrative across multiple seasons, in contrast to a show like Wiseguy (1987-90) that did multi-episode arcs or more improvisational soap opera like Dallas (1978-91), Crime Story (1986-8), Twin Peaks (1990-1)-Bob speculates that Harry Potter may be responsible for younger millennials' and zoomers' love for bildungsromans, in stark contrast to our elder millennial bitterness-Bob does like the new but sadly canceled Twilight Zone (2019-20)-Matt namechecks Banshee from the X-Men & Bob talks fondly about the Stepford Cuckoos' disquiet that they lack telekinesis-Matt fails his Voight-Kampff test for Galaxy-class starship empathy-Bob, a UAW member, thinks highly of this radio episode on UAW president Walter Reuther's death https://player.fm/series/history-conspiracy-podcast/the-death-of-walter-reuther-from-the-dave-emory-archives but not so highly of this podcast episode on Sen. Paul Wellstone's death https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-strange-death-of-senator-paul-wellstone/id1235651909?i=1000501700367-Bob hopes Black Lightning (2018-21) allowed Cress Wiliams to be as haughty in that role as he is as Talak'talan-Bob lies & says we're covering the B5 comic Price of Peace next, but, instead, we held off a couple of weeks on the comic & did the B5 S2 premiere & 2part DS9 S3 premiere next
Comrades Luke and Tim join the show to discuss the rank and file critique of business unionism put forward by Stan Weir. Throughout his writings and his life Stan Weir operated by the creed that one should not "let people feel that their job is to sit back and admire somebody else." Our conversation focuses on Stan Weir's critique of "business unionism," guided by his confidence in the capacity of workers organizing their own independent and radical unions. Weir provides a corrective to the story of the CIO where he highlights how the CIO was formed by rank and file workers and then was pushed into bureaucratic forms by labor officialdom. Weir also challenges the romanticized historiography of union leaders like Walter Reuther and Harry Bridges, pointing to their methods of suppressing rank and file militancy. From the book jacket, "Blue-collar intellectual and activist, Stan Weir devoted his life to the advocacy of his fellow workers.

Walter Philip Reuther was an American leader of organized labor and civil rights activist who built the United Automobile Workers (UAW) into one of the most progressive labor unions in American history. He saw labor movements not as narrow special interest groups but as instruments to advance social justice and human rights in democratic societies. He leveraged the UAW's resources and influence to advocate for workers' rights, civil rights, women's rights, universal health care, public education, affordable housing, environmental stewardship and nuclear nonproliferation around the world. He believed in Swedish-style social democracy and societal change through nonviolent civil disobedience. He cofounded the AFL-CIO in 1955 with George Meaney. He survived two attempted assassinations, including one at home where he was struck by a 12-gauge shotgun blast fired through his kitchen window. He was the fourth and longest serving president of the UAW, serving from 1946 until his death in 1970.

National concern about income inequalities. Race relations at a boiling point. Riots in the streets. Cries on the left for massive allocations of federal money for housing and poverty reduction programs. Social scientists and professional activists touting theories and pet proposals for projects that will supposedly eradicate poverty if only enough money is thrown at them. Tensions between local and state officials and the White House and between bureaucrats and the poor people they claim to be helping. Factionalism roiling the left as new players challenge the Democratic Party establishment. Concerns about the independence of the Federal Reserve. Economic uncertainty and balance of trade issues leading to tensions with our supposed allies. The once iconic General Electric facing public image problems. Big industrial unions like the United Automobile Workers losing clout to unions representing white-collar government workers. The perennial debate about what we now call the universal basic income (UBI). The rise of the expert class—and the backlash against it. St. Louis as the poster child of racial and class tensions. Acrimony between presidential appointees and the president himself. A naïve, self-serving belief among progressives that all we need to do to solve every problem is to hearken back to the New Deal and outdo it by going big, big, big on social spending. Outright cries for socialism in America. Debates on the right and within the GOP about which political path to follow—surrendering to the administrative state or remaining committed to the free market and personal liberty. Sound familiar? But wait—this isn't 2020. It is the period of roughly 1964-1972 that journalist and historian Amity Shlaes chronicles in her 2019 book, Great Society: A New History (Harper, 2019) Given the unprecedented, gargantuan levels of federal spending we are seeing these days designed to deal with the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic and the ongoing debate revolving around the Black Lives Matter movement, Shlaes' book is exquisitely well-timed. Now is the time to revisit the Great Society era and consider what worked and what ended up destroying poor neighborhoods and the lives of those in them. Shlaes also introduces us to many of the now standard public policy types whose latter-day incarnations we all live with today. There is the influential gadfly author who alerts Americans to this or that social problem (Michael Harrington). The charismatic super-bureaucrat who oversells his federal programs and rides roughshod over those at the local level (Sargent Shriver). The memo-producing social scientist for-hire who loves government more than life itself (Daniel Patrick Moynihan). The young activist who rides the wave of social upheaval only to be sidelined by those more ruthless, effective and radical than he (Tom Hayden). The union leader who revels in conferring with American presidents and cultivating allies on the left even as his industry is being gutted by foreign competitors (Walter Reuther of the United Automobile Workers). We know these types by now and Shlaes reminds us how we got used to such figures. Never was a better time to look back at a key period in the history of big government and to consider how we can avoid replicating the counterproductive policies that helped create the very conditions that are generating the current outcry about income disparities and racial injustice.

He came to Detroit as a high-school dropout raised in hardscrabble West Virginia. The career arc that followed -- from diemaker at Henry Ford's Ford Rouge Plant to confidant of American presidents -- marks Walter Reuther as a singular figure in in the U.S. labor movement. His vision of power-sharing and social progressivism drew the template for a blue-collar middle class. Even as technology has shrunk the workforce, and corruption allegations have stained a later generation of leaders, Reuther's place in American history is assured. This week's Detroit History Podcast traces the Reuther saga from his first days at the Rouge to a fateful plane crash near the northern Michigan recreational haven and training facility he envisioned for UAW members.
This week on Uncommon Knowledge, a conversation with author and historian Amity Shlaes on her new book, Great Society: A New History. Begun by John F. Kennedy and completed by Lyndon B. Johnson, the Great Society was one of the most sweeping pieces of legislation ever enacted in American history. On its surface, the Great Society was a plan to reduce rural and urban poverty, but at its roots were the socialist and communist movements of the 1930s. Shlaes shares the history of those movements and lays out how they influenced the post–World War II generation of American politicians, including lesser-remembered figures such as Sargent Shriver, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, and Walter Reuther. In addition, the Great Society was a harbinger of many of the policies and ideas that are in vogue today, including Universal Basic Income and Medicare for All. Shlaes also argues that what the Great Society’s marquee policy initiative, the War on Poverty, and the new flood of benefits actually achieved “was the opposite of preventing poverty—they established a new kind of poverty, a permanent sense of downtroddenness.” Shlaes proves that, once again, policies and laws with the best of intentions often have the opposite effect.

Homicide is one of the leading causes of death on the job among women in the U.S. Today’s labor history: Roosevelt announces end of WPA, which helped create jobs for millions during the Great Depression. Today’s labor quote by Walter Reuther.
Cold War tensions finally boiled over into a heated military conflict during the Summer of 1950, when Soviet-allied North Korea invaded US-allied South Korea. In response, President Truman called General Douglas MacArthur away from his role administering the American occupation of Japan in order to fight the Communists on the Korean Peninsula. MacArthur's bold military strategies allowed the Americans to recapture South Korea for capitalism, but the general underestimated the danger of occupying North Korea in his attempts to totally defeat the Korean communist movement. Back on the homefront, labor leader Walter Reuther negotiated the "Treaty of Detroit" between the United Auto Workers union & the General Motors car company, which helped bring more Americans into the middle class. The Red Scare continued to loom large over domestic politics, as Senator Joe McCarthy accused many Americans of having Communist sympathies, & Senator Patrick McCarran attempted to limit the liberties of subversives. The year's wild finish included an assassination attempt, a dirty election campaign, a president sending threats to a music critic, & a Chinese intervention in Korea that created great suffering for US troops & South Korean civilians (and which created major headaches for American generals & politicians).Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/boomertomillennial/posts)
