Labor, Democrats and the Third Way
LABOR RESEARCH REVIEW #22 Labor, Democrats and the Third Way • Ellen David Friedman This past winter the Massachusetts AFL-CIO made a striking gesture. Still smarting from the battle over the North American Free Trade Agreement, the state federation decided to withhold routine PAC con tributions from Congressional members who had voted for NAFTA. The decision stood in stark contrast to the many decades in which orga nized labor offered fairly unconditional, uncritical support to the Demo cratic Party and its candidates, even when Democrats failed to behave as allies. And while the Massachusetts example is singular and perhaps not an example of broader currents, it should be seen in light of other phenomena: the dissolution of rank-and-file unionists as a predictable Democratic voting block; the assertive distancing by the Democratic Party from its traditional constituencies (for example, acceding to the popular image that minorities, women, and workers are "special inter ests"); the emergence of H. Ross Perot and his surprising appeal to some sectors of unionized voters; and the growing interest among local labor leadership in Labor Party Advocates, a pre-labor party organization. This is a moment in which old certainties about organized labor and the Democrats are becoming less certain; it is a circumstance that progressives within the labor movement should welcome and work with. • Ellen David Friedman is an organizer with the Vermont National Education Association. \ 76 Labor Research Review #22 The possibilities for shaping a different relationship between the two seem to be increasing—whether the goal is to compel the Democratic Party towards greater respect for labor's agenda, or to build a new party founded on labor's agenda. -

Direct Democracy to the Impact of Progressive Politics
THE VERMONT DIFFERENCE: DIRECT DEMOCRACY TO THE IMPACT OF PROGRESSIVE POLITICS by Colleen R. Jackson A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of the Master of Arts in Government Baltimore, Maryland May, 2021 © 2021 Colleen R. Jackson All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The Vermont political environment is home to three, frequently lauded, unique attributes that separates it from other states. This thesis investigates why and how Vermont sees such a prevalence in split ticket voting, how the most successful third party in the country, the Vermont Progressive Party, has been able to establish and maintain success in Vermont for the last forty years, and investigates of the current state, successes, failures, and future of direct democracy in Vermont’s town meetings. The thesis then asks whether each of these elements is replicable outside of the Vermont political environment and what the implications are for expansion of these attributes to other states and nationwide. The research uses a range of methodologies: an IVR survey and in-depth follow up interviews for split ticket voters, in-depth interviews of members of the Vermont Progressive Party, and an online survey of Vermont town clerks. This thesis finds that split ticket voters in Vermont point to a number of reasons for splitting their ticket, most prominently, however, it is due to the close connection that Vermonters feel to their political representatives which can transcend party label. The Progressive Party’s success is largely due to Bernie Sanders’ proof of concept when he became mayor of Burlington, VT, in addition to community-building organization techniques, and a legislative environment that does not overly hinder third party candidates and parties. -
