FOI members were sta- tioned at tables in the Carmichael and Dewick- MacPhie Dining Centers and the Mayer Campus Center over the course of the week and collected over $1,000, FOI Co-President Aliza Shapiro said. The money raised is an improvement over the $700 to $800 raised during last year’s tabling, she said.

  • 1 What Can Labor Organizations Do for US
    1 What Can Labor Organizations Do for US Workers When They Can't Do What Unions Used to Do? Abstract The traditional union model of organizing workers through representation elections and bargaining with management for higher wages and benefits is in trend decline in the US. Private sector union density has plummeted while public sector collective bargaining faces continual attacks on its legitimacy. In such a setting the only sensible answer to the title question is that unions will not accomplish much unless they find ways to impact economic outcomes outside of collective bargaining. With unions unable to do for workers what they once did, some labor activists, social entrepreneurs, and unions have pioneered strategies and tactics that engage workers and improve labor well-being without collective contracts. Modern information and communication technology offers ways to scale up some of these innovations and help restore a balance between labor and capital in the American economic system. Richard Freeman, Harvard and NBER What Works for Workers? Conference on Public Policies and Community-Based Solutions for Low- Wage Workers, Georgetown University, January 6, 2012 revision 2 The starting point for any realistic assessment of what unions can do for American workers is the recognition that the modus vivendi by which unions organize workers into majority organizations at a workplace and bargain for higher wages and benefits no longer works for most workers. If unions follow their traditional model of organizing a majority of workers at a workplace and bargaining solely for those workers while doing nothing for the predominantly nonunion work force the answer to the title question would be not much.

  • Duncan Kennedy on Constitutional Theory and Palestine
    Duncan Kennedy on Constitutional Theory and Palestine Nimer Sultany In this brief contribution I would like to acknowledge Duncan Kennedy's influence on my thinking and work in the past years. My own work has focused on constitutional law and theory—and although this was not a primary concern of Duncan’s scholarship— in this piece I will focus on two aspects of his work and career that influenced me as his student, political ally, and friend: radical left theoretical thought and radical left practice. Indeed, this combination is the reason why many of us admire him. He is one of the few scholars who were able to commit in his long career to both projects: intellectual critique and a left-wing politics. He was able to prevent the stifling of critique by the political, and at the same time to perform critique without undermining the political. He did not fall to the trap of either the free-floating intellectual or that of the simple party member. I. From Private Law to Public Law As noted, constitutional law and theory were not a primary focus for Duncan, given the emphasis in his teaching and writing career on exposing the seemingly neutral, apolitical, and technical language of private law arrangements that structure the background conditions to societal arrangements. Building on and extending the work of the American legal realists who came before him, Duncan sought to expose the ‘unfreedom’ that permeates the supposedly private sphere of autonomous individuals who can form their choices within the shield of individual rights. These arrangements are not merely coercive; they have distributive outcomes—they produce winners and losers—and some of these outcomes may well be politically objectionable.1 This is part of his larger theoretical endeavor of critique of liberal legalism.2 There is no rational defense of the belief in liberal legality as a primary tool of advancing society towards liberal or progressive goals.
