    Populist Just Transitions Judson Charles Abraham Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Social, Political, Ethical, and Cultural Thought Scott G. Nelson, Chair Shannon E. Bell Nicholas Copeland Timothy W. Luke Besnik Pula December 19, 2019 Blacksburg VA Keywords: labor unions, just transition, climate change, populism, internationalism, Antonio Gramsci, Tony Mazzocchi Copyright: Judson Abraham 2020 Populist Just Transitions Judson Charles Abraham ABSTRACT This dissertation argues that the just transition policy framework may not vivify labor internationalism or erode support for right-wing populists if just transitions are not part of left- wing populist projects. Labor internationalism, which involves labor unions cooperating across borders to pursue common goals, is increasingly important as unions strive to work with their foreign counterparts to influence the international community’s urgent efforts to address climate change. Right-wing populism is a growing threat to organized labor and climate protection efforts. Some labor activists hope that advocacy for the just transition policy framework, a set of guidelines for compensating workers in polluting industries who are laid-off as a result of environmental protections, will unite labor organizations from around the world and improve their approaches to international solidarity. Progressives hope that just transition policies will discourage voters from supporting right-wing populist candidates, who are often climate skeptics, out of fear of the job losses that accompany environmentalist reforms. However, I question the assumption that just transition policies, in and of themselves, can serve as solutions to the challenges posed by right-wing populism or overcome divisions within the global labor movement.

  • Safety First: NYCOSH’S 30-Year Campaign Against Workplace Injury and Death
    INTERVIEW REGIONAL LABOR REVIEW, Fall 2009 Safety First: NYCOSH’s 30-Year Campaign Against Workplace Injury and Death by Vernon Mogensen The New York Committee for Occupational Safety and Health (NYCOSH) recently celebrated its thirtieth anniversary as an organization committed to educating and training workers and lobbying on their behalf for better standards. Arguably the more successful and visible COSH groups to come out of the workers’ safety and health movement of the 1960s, it has grown from a small informal group of activists meeting over brown bag lunches in the 1970s into a broadly based organization of workers, medical professionals, academics, and over 200 union affiliates. NYCOSH provides technical assistance to unions, individuals, and the community on a wide range of issues including but not limited to the fallout from toxic contaminants during the 9/11 attack, construction hazards and crane safety, office workers safety hazards, teenage workers safety issues, and safety problems facing immigrant workers. It was one of the first COSH groups to take up the important issue of repetitive strain injuries and ergonomics. NYCOSH has been a staunch advocate for workers safety and health to strengthen the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the New York State Public Employees Safety and Health law, and workers compensation. Joel Shufro became its executive director in 1980, just before the Carter administration was left office. A After earning a Ph.D. in colonial history, he turned labor organizer. Since then, he has guided NYCOSH through the thicket of anti-regulatory polices of the Reagan and the two Bush administrations, as well as during the more worker-friendly Clinton years.

  • Appreciating Eula Bingham: Poignant Memories from the Occupational Health Community
    Appreciating Eula Bingham: Poignant Memories from the Occupational Health Community compiled by Chip Hughes, NIEHS Worker Training Program Eulogy for Eula Bingham With great sadness, the Collegium Ramazzini announces the death of Professor Eula Bingham, long-time Fellow and Past President of the Collegium Ramazzini, a globally recognized champion for the health and safety of working people. Eula Bingham was a true giant of occupational health. Throughout the 90 years of her life, she insisted tirelessly that workers had the absolute right to be safe on the job. Her thoughtful and generous wisdom shaped the entire field of occupational safety and health. Her bold and courageous actions prevented countless illnesses and injuries in workers around the world. Dr. Bingham began her scientific career at the University of Cincinnati School of Medicine in 1961 with pioneering research on chemical carcinogenesis. She studied polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in coke ovens. She published a major paper on bladder cancer in chemical workers that she had researched in her own city of Cincinnati. These studies led Dr. Bingham to the realization that American workers are exposed daily in their work to known and suspect chemical carcinogens often under poorly controlled conditions that pose grave dangers to their health. This recognition spurred her to a lifetime of public service on behalf of workers. Beginning in the early 1970s, Dr. Bingham recognized that the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the then new legislation that had passed in 1970 and created NIOSH and OSHA, opened up powerful new opportunities to protect workers against carcinogens and other toxic chemicals.

    fast track to rule by the big banks EIR Special Report, May 1991 Auschwitz below the border: Free trade and George 'Hitler' Bush's program for Mexican genocide A critical issue facing the nation in this presidential election year is NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement. Bush and Clinton both back it. This proposed treaty with Mexico will mean slave-labor, the rampant spread of cholera, and throwing hundreds of thousands of workers onto the unemployment lines-on both sides of the border-all for the purpose of bailing out the Wall Street and City of London banks. In this 75-page Special Report, ElR's investigators tell the truth about what the banker-run politicians and media have tried to sell as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get economic growth started across the Americas. The Wall Street crowd-led by none other than Henry Kissinger-are going berserk to ram this policy through Congress. Kis­ singer threatened in April: "It should be signed by all parties, and should be defended on all sides as a political vision, and not merely as a trade agreement." Kissinger's pal David Rockefeller added: "Without the fast track, the course of history will be stopped." With this report, ElR's editors aim to stop Rockefeller and his course of history-straight toward a banking dictatorship. $75 per copy ,.
