  • Populist Just Transitions Judson Charles Abraham Dissertation
    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.

During Tthe past 7½ years the Department of Labor adopted only one new rule to limit exposure to a chemical (hexavalent chromium) and that was because of a court order.

  • 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.

On April 17, 2016, this CSB Board voted unanimously to approve CSB’s Volumes 3 and 4 of our report on the Macondo Deepwater Horizon disaster.2 Voting now to close this Recommendation as “Closed-Reconsidered/Superseded” is not supported by our statute nor the evidence and analysis provided in Volumes 3 and 4 of the CSB’s Macondo investigation report. The CSB Recommendations Department proposal to the Board for this status change does not consider: - The clear statutory authority and mandate of CSB to issue reports and studies which can include analyses of gaps in regulatory safeguards. 1 This statement is a revised and expanded version of my statement at the October 16, 2017, U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) public business meeting. Review the official meeting transcript for my statement, for statements of, and dialogue with, other Board Members, and for public comments.

  • UNIONS and the MAKING of the MODERATE REPUBLICAN PARTY in NASSAU COUNTY, NEW YORK by LILLIAN DUDKIEWICZ-CLAYM
    LIFE OF THE PARTY: UNIONS AND THE MAKING OF THE MODERATE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN NASSAU COUNTY, NEW YORK By LILLIAN DUDKIEWICZ-CLAYMAN A dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in History Written under the direction of Dorothy Sue Cobble And approved by _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey JANUARY, 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Life of the Party: Unions and the Making of the Moderate Republican Party in Nassau County, New York By LILLIAN DUDKIEWICZ-CLAYMAN Dissertation Director: Dorothy Sue Cobble Since county incorporation in 1899, the Nassau County Republican Party has identified with the moderate wing of the party. A key component of its moderate views lies in its support of workers and organized labor. This dissertation describes the evolution of the partnership between organized labor and the Nassau Republican Party and shows how organized labor contributed to the emergence of a strong political Republican machine. Support for organized labor became necessary to the survival and success of the Nassau County Republicans. At the same time, I argue, organized labor thrived in Nassau County in part because of its partnership with moderate Republicans. This mutually beneficial interaction continued into the twenty-first century, maintaining the Nassau County Republican Party as moderates even as the national GOP has moved to the extreme right. Historians and scholars have studied the history of the Nassau County Republican Party and its rise as a powerful political machine.
