Blue Man Group will open a production in Toronto in June 2005 at the newly renovated Panasonic Theatre.

  • Joint Union–Management Workforce Development Model
    CHAPTER 9 Joint Union–Management Workforce Development Model DANIEL MARSCHALL Ellen Scully-Russ The George Washington University In their early synthesis of the features shared by joint training programs, Ferman, Hoyman and Cutcher-Gershenfeld (1990) argued that such programs, as they emerged from the industrial restructuring of the 1980s, represented a distinctive innovation in worker training and career development with the potential to become “a stable and significant domain” in labor–management relations. The authors described joint training programs as an emerging set of institutional arrangements that included large-scale, negotiated, and jointly administered trust funds providing technical training, personal development, and access to education for union members. Though there were many examples of joint union–manage- ment training activity prior to the appearance of the industrial joint training program model, earlier programs were narrowly focused on sin- gle-issue training or time-bounded training efforts. In contrast, the new model spanned many areas of training activity, covered divergent popu- lations of workers and managers, and incorporated service delivery strategies guided by a philosophy of worker involvement and jointly determined decision making. Among other research implications, the authors identified the classification of joint training activities as a chal- lenge for understanding the structural tendencies within these young organizations. Notably, the authors speculated that the emergence of these innovative joint

This year’s program is co-sponsored by the Smithsonian Latino Center. The event will include a performance by Chicano guitarist and singer Rudy Arredondo. Admission is free, but seating is limited. To obtain more information or make reservations, e-mail [email protected] or call (202) 633-4875. “Each year we select a speaker or presentation that embodies the philosophy of Dr. King,” said Camille Giraud Akeju, museum director. “Dr. King was empathetic to the plight of migrant workers. A grass-roots organizer like King, Baldemar Velásquez has effectively worked through the system, sometimes one person at a time, and emerged a powerful advocate against injustice.” “The Smithsonian Latino Center is proud to be partnering with the Anacostia Community Museum on this important event which highlights the shared struggles and support between our communities,” said Eduardo Diáz, director of the center. “Baldemar Velásquez embodies the center’s mission to highlight the contributions of Latinos and their positive impact in the United States, particularly its labor history.” Velásquez is a highly respected national and international leader in the farm-labor movement and in the movement for Latino and immigrant rights.

    ExEcutivE council REpoRt FoR ThE PaST FouR YEaRS, the Executive Council of the AFL-CIO, which is the governing body of the federation between conventions, has coordinated the work of our movement to reverse the growing power of giant corporations and special interests, while advancing the crucial needs of working families and driving programs to build a people-powered future for America. We deployed multiple approaches to grow and strengthen our movement. We seized opportunities to make working family priorities central in our nation and the global economy. And we worked to build a unified labor movement with the power to take on the tremendous challenges before us. The AFL-CIO Executive Council is constitutionally charged with reporting on the activities of the AFL-CIO and its affiliates to each Convention. It is with great respect for the delegates to our 26th Constitutional Convention that we present this report on highlights of the past four years.
