UAW Special Projects Department Records UAW Special Projects Department Collection Records, 1945-1973 107 linear feet Accession #646 DALNET # OCLC # In 1957 the UAW created the position of Director of Special Projects and Economic Analysis for Nat Weinberg, who had headed the UAW Research Department since 1947, and he held that position until his retirement in 1974. The UAW Special Projects Department was established as part of the President’s Office and was responsible for advising the president and developing, often within a global framework, program and policy proposals and actions in the economic and collective bargaining fields and in other areas designated by the president. As Special Projects director, Weinberg helped to create innovative programs like the Supplemental Unemployment Benefits (SUB) plan and cost-of-living adjustments. Additional papers related to the files of the UAW Special Projects Department may be found in the Nat Weinberg Collection. The UAW Special Projects and Economic Analysis Department Collection consists of research material, notes, correspondence, minutes, testimony, speeches, press releases, clippings and other published material related to the department’s research, advisory, and speech writing roles as well as to Nat Weinberg’s service as consultant, trustee, or member of numerous organizations and agencies.

  • Oral History Interview with Henry Sayles Francis, 1974 Mar. 28-1975 July 11
    Oral history interview with Henry Sayles Francis, 1974 Mar. 28-1975 July 11 Funding for the digital preservation of this interview was provided by a grant from the Save America's Treasures Program of the National Park Service. Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Interview HF: HENRY SAYLES FRANCIS RB: ROBERT BROWN RB: This is an interview with Henry Sayles Francis, in Walpole, New Hampshire, March 28, 1974, Robert Brown the interviewer. I'd like, if you could, to perhaps discuss something of your childhood in Boston. The various things we've already talked about, but if we could discuss them further now? HF: Well, I was born, as I told you, here at 56 Commonwealth Avenue, which was the house which my Uncle Henry Sayles, my great uncle, built for his mother and moved from Tremont Street in 1972. And I notice in the wonderful catalogue which the Museum of Fine Arts put out some years ago on the Back Bay, that there is a picture which shows this particular area where the houses are in block form before it was all filled in and everything, in which that group of houses happens to be in the picture. RB: As you knew it though, they were already . ? HF: Oh, of course, it was all filled. Oh, yes. Oh, heavens yes, it was all very much filled. But I can remember the days when they used to have the horses and buggies, would come down either side of Commonwealth Avenue, and I remember a runaway once going round a corner, and you could see sparks coming from the curbing as the thing went around.

  • The Absence of Protest,Who's Buried in the Graveyard of Empires?
    21st Century Internationalism of the Oppressed [We are re-posting this essay by Bill Fletcher because he offers a compelling response to an argument that has been circulating all too widely in left circles. We are using the version that appeared on ZNet, Sept. 17, 2021. — Eds.] The US Left has largely lost the ability and/or willingness to have serene debates and exchanges. All too quickly differences, sometimes negligible, are elevated into splits. And, worse, those holding opposing views are treated as ‘enemies of the people’ or simply soft-headed, recalling the danger of firing squads that have been frequently used against political opponents (note to reader: remember the end of the Grenadian Revolution in 1983). Keeping this in mind the following is offered as a response to a recent piece by Ajamu Baraka, “We Can No Longer Avoid Raising the Contradiction of the Western Imperial Left’s Collaboration with the Western Bourgeoisie,” in Black Agenda Report (1 September 2021). This response is offered carefully because this is not a personal debate, despite the condescending tone of Baraka’s piece. Our differences do not revolve around any question as to the Baraka’s dedication and commitment, nor his insight into many issues facing the globally oppressed. He and I have known each other for years and, despite differences, have had a comradely relationship. In the context of his recent essay, however, I respectfully believe that his framework is muddled, incorrect and stuck in a perverse version of a pre-1991 world. We will leave aside Baraka’s insults to Gilbert Achcar.

  • Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and Its Role in U.S
    Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and Its Role in U.S. Trade Policy J. F. Hornbeck Specialist in International Trade and Finance August 5, 2013 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R41922 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and Its Role in U.S. Trade Policy Summary Congress created Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) in the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 to help workers and firms adjust to dislocation that may be caused by increased trade liberalization. It is justified now, as it was then, on grounds that the government has an obligation to help the “losers” of policy-driven trade opening. TAA is also presented as an alternative to policies that would restrict imports, and so provides assistance while bolstering freer trade and diminishing prospects for potentially costly tension (retaliation) among trade partners. As in the past, critics strongly debate the merits of TAA on equity, efficiency, and budgetary grounds. Nonetheless, finding agreement on TAA remains important for forging a compromise on national trade policy. TAA program authorizations are scheduled to expire on December 31, 2013. The Trade Adjustment Assistance Extension Act of 2013 (S. 1357) was introduced in the 113th Congress. It would extend TAA programs through 2020. President Obama also supports TAA reauthorization, linking it to renewal of Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), which Congress may also take up this year. This report discusses the role of TAA in U.S. trade policy from its inception as a legislative option in the early 1950s to its core role as a cornerstone of modern trade policy that many argue has served to promote the long-term U.S.

The United States has exacerbated PPE shortages with Section 301 tariffs on these goods, part of a trade war with China. This has a disparate impact felt by minority communities because of a series of health inequity harms. COVID’s racial disparity appears in virus exposure, virus susceptibility, and COVID treatments. This Article makes legal, policy, and race-and-health arguments. Congress has delegated to the United States Trade Representative expansive authority to increase tariffs.

  • Julius Bernstein Papers
    Julius Bernstein Collection Papers, 1916-1977 30 linear feet Accession #896 OCLC # Julius Bernstein was born in New York City June 5, 1919 to Solomon and Rose (Kimmel) Bernstein, immigrants from Russia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire respectively. He moved with his family to Boston in 1929, attending public schools there, including Boston Latin, but and graduated from James Monroe High School in the Bronx, where he moved with his younger brother and mother after her separation from his father. He also attended Boston University for one year, majoring in journalism, and was awarded a Florence Lasker Fellowship in Civil Rights at Brandeis University in 1961. In his teens, Bernstein became active in the Young People's Socialist League and for many years served as State Secretary of the Socialist Party in Massachusetts. He met his future wife, Bess Belle Luff, through the Workmen's Circle, in which his family were active, lifelong members. They married in 1940 and had two sons, Stanley, born in 194 1, and Eugene Debs, in 1943. Drafted in December, 1941, he spent most of World War 11 driving an ambulance at Hoff General Hospital in Santa Barbara, California. Upon his discharge in 1945, he joined and remained active for many years in the Ernie Pyle Chapter of the American Veterans' Committee of Massachusetts. In 1948 Bernstein started working for the Jewish Labor Committee in Boston, the only regular job he ever held, taking over as resident field officer when Rose Parker moved to Detroit to marry Dr. Schmarya Kleinman. The primary focus of the JLC organization in Boston was to serve as the education arm of organized labor in New England on human rights issues, but Bernstein's activity also expanded to persistent lobbying with the Massachusetts and other state legislatures on civil rights and labor matters.

  • Fleischman, Harry
    The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project Labor Series HARRY FLEISCHMAN Interviewed by: Morris Weisz Initial interview date: January 28, 1995 Copyright 2015 ADST [Note: This interview was not edited by Mr. Fleischman.] Q: This is Morris Weisz with the Labor Diplomacy Oral History Project. The date is January 28, 1995. I am sitting in the charming home of Harry Fleischman in Longboat Key, Florida to follow up on an interview that took place on January 27, 1992 (three years ago) in which Harry gave an account of some of the work he did for the Voice of America and the USIA or its equivalent at that time for the few years that he worked there (1952-1953). We have transcribed that very interesting interview. That are a few blanks that we want to fill in on it with this second interview and then go on to have Harry comment on some materials he has since dug up which illustrate the work that a person of his background was able to do for the Voice, which had some very good effects during the period that we were in this terrific propaganda war with the Soviets at the beginning of the Marshall Plan period. Harry, there are two purposes to this re-interview. We thank you for it. The first purpose is really to follow your career afterwards, after you left the Voice, in 1953 and to get an idea from you as to the value or the critique of your work that became sharper as your career went on and an evaluation of the government programs in that period from a sort of 20/20 hindsight point of view, how did your career in the government affect your future activities? Please mention those, of course.

Longtime members of ILHS probably remember “The Reporter.” Hopefully you will be as pleased as we are at the renewal of our publication with this special 2014 Year in Review edition. 2014 was in many ways of year of transition for the ILHS. It was a year of loss, as we mourned the passing of Les Orear. Les was one of the founders of our organization, and his energy and commitment to the project of labor history was at the heart of everything we have accomplished for more than four decades. It was year of change, as we moved our offices to Roosevelt University. Our relationship with Roosevelt will allow us to increase access to the ILHS archives. It was a year of new beginnings, as we hired our first full time Executive Director, Stephanie Seawell, who joins ILHS from finishing her PhD in history at the University of Illinois, in Champaign-Urbana. In this ILHS 2014 Year in Review we have shared some of our programs, activities, and initiatives over the past year. Please know that all of what you read in these pages was only accomplished through the generous support of members like you. Hopefully the stories and updates you read on these pages will inspire you to renew your membership with ILHS, if you have not already done so.
