This course provides a comprehensive survey of the American Labor Movement and its evolution from slavery, through the conception and growth of labor unions, to today’s issues of “living wage,” outsourcing, borderland conflicts, and globalization. This course examines the on-going struggle of American workers to achieve the “American Dream” against the counter tide of the corporate-political machine (locally and nationally), and demonstrates how unified and organized workers have used the Labor Movement to profoundly affect social, economic, and political change for all Americans.
