  • Ending Injustice in Our Fields and Dairies: New York State Should Extend Basic Labor Protections to Farmworkers
    POLICY BRIEF | MAY 2019 Ending Injustice in Our Fields and Dairies: New York State Should Extend Basic Labor Protections to Farmworkers In 1937, New York State lawmakers passed fundamental labor protections for the state’s workers. But just as Congress had done in the landmark federal labor law enacted two years earlier, New York lawmakers excluded farmwork and other industries disproportionately employing workers of color from these protections. In the eight decades since, farmworkers have been paid low wages for onerous work, suffered poor living conditions, and been exposed to wage theft, physical injury, trafficking, and harassment. Since the 1990s, lawmakers in Albany have promised to address this shortcoming, and yet these unfair exclusions from basic legal protections persist. Often working in rural isolation, for employers who control virtually every aspect of their lives, the men and women who produce our sustenance cannot depend upon basic labor laws, and yet they are also constrained from banding together to improve their conditions. We are past due to end the discrimination in New York’s fields and dairies, and to extend collective bargaining rights and other baseline labor protections to farmworkers. To Farmworkers, Promises Made and Promises Broken Time and time again, agricultural workers laboring in one of the lowest-paid and most dangerous occupations in the United States have been told by policymakers that they don’t matter. As a result of legislative compromises in the drafting of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA)

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] A Female Houdini: Popular Culture in Margaret Atwood's Lady Oracle Abstract Popular discourses are ubiquitous in the writing of Margaret Atwood. Her novels, poetry and critical writing constantly foreground ways in which notions of gender identity, and of cultural identity more generally, have been shaped by media and other popular representations. References to Hollywood and television rub shoulders with allusions to magazines, fairy tale, popular song and a host of other forms responsible for women's socialization and female mythologies: these include the Persephone2 and Triple Goddess3 myths, popular religious discourse, advertising language and iconography and the stereotypical norms inculcated in girls by such institutions as Brownies and Home Economics classes.4 This journal article is available in Kunapipi: https://ro.uow.edu.au/kunapipi/vol14/iss1/15 AFemale Houdini: Popular Culture in Margaret Atwood's Lady Oracle 71 JOHN THIEME A Female Houdini: Popular Culture in Margaret Atwood's Lady Oracle There are whole magazines with not much in them but the word love, you can rub it all over your body and you can cook with it too.' 1 (Margaret Atwood, 'Variations on the Word Love' ) Popular discourses are ubiquitous in the writing of Margaret Atwood.
