2014 Year in Review Dear ILHS Members
Illinois Labor History Society 430 South Michigan Ave. Room AUD 1361 Chicago, IL 60605 2014 Year in Review Dear ILHS Members, I am very pleased to present to you this edition of “The Reporter,” the Illinois Labor History Society newsletter. 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. -

Afl-Cio Executive Council Unanimously Supports Anti-Piracy Measures
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AFL-CIO EXECUTIVE COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY SUPPORTS ANTI-PIRACY MEASURES Orlando, Mar. 2 – The AFL-CIO Executive Council, at its meeting today in Orlando, unanimously adopted a statement on the subject of the theft of intellectual property. Submitted to the Council by the Department of Professional Employees on behalf of the entertainment unions and guilds affiliated with the AFL-CIO, the statement offers a detailed analysis of the harm done to U.S. workers by piracy. The statement said, in part, “Motion pictures, television, sound recordings and other entertainment are a vibrant part of the U.S. economy. They yield one of its few remaining trade surpluses. The online theft of copyrighted works and the sale of illegal CDs and DVDs threaten the vitality of U.S. entertainment and thus its working people.” IATSE International President Matthew D. Loeb, a member of the AFL-CIO Executive Council, said “This is a strong statement of support from the AFL-CIO in our fight against the theft of product upon which the members of the entertainment industry unions and guilds depend. We will continue to pursue every avenue we can to stop digital theft.” “While we support increased broadband access for all Americans, its important to remember that downloading illegal content is the same as walking into a record or book store and stealing a CD or DVD,” said AFTRA National President Roberta Reardon, who is also a member of the AFL-CIO Executive Council. “Recording artists, for example, earn more than 90% of their income through the physical and digital download sales of their albums, and stealing their work – as well as that of actors, singers, dancers and other professional talent – seriously threatens their ability to earn a living and support their families.
