  • Your Union: Unions and New Social Media During Election Campaigns Tim Fowler, Carleton University Doug Hagar, Brock University
    1 ‘Liking’ Your Union: Unions and New Social Media During Election Campaigns Tim Fowler, Carleton University Doug Hagar, Brock University Presented at the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association June 2012 Edmonton, Alberta This paper not to be cited until a final version is uploaded. 2 Introduction New Social Media (NSM), most commonly referring to Facebook and Twitter, has gained prominence as a political tool over the past half-decade. Barack Obama’s campaign for the White House used NSM as a major element (McGirt 2009; Stelter 2008), and many prominent politicians and political parties use NSM to interact with voters and constituents. The role of NSM in the so-called ‘Arab Spring’ cannot be understated: it was an influential tool to coordinate demonstrations and share information (Howard & Hussain 2011). NSM allows for instantaneous, consistent, and free communication to ‘followers’ that differs from the slow, costly, and unidirectional communication through traditional media and advertising strategies. The direct, unfiltered connection provided by NSM to constituents makes these tools particularly useful in political campaigns. An increased number of politicians, organizations, corporations, and citizens are using NSM for political purposes. This paper concerns itself with the use of NSM by organized labour in Canada, particularly during election campaigns. Popular wisdom in Canada holds that the New Democratic Party (NDP) is the party of organized labour. Indeed, the NDP formed as a merger of the Co-Operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF), the social democratic forerunner to the NDP, and the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC), Canada’s main labour federation. In practise, however, the relationship between organized labour and the NDP is rather complex.

  • St. Louis Labor Council, AFL-CIO, (1957- ), Minute Books, 1913-1963 29 Volumes on 14 Microfilm Rolls
    S0061 St. Louis Labor Council, AFL-CIO, (1957- ), Minute Books, 1913-1963 29 Volumes On 14 Microfilm Rolls MICROFILM This collection is available at The State Historical Society of Missouri. If you would like more information, please contact us at [email protected]. At its annual convention in 1885, the American Federation of Labor presented a resolution calling for an eight-hour work day. The "Eight Hour" movement quickly gathered momentum and trade and union groups were formed across the country. St. Louis was active in the movement and soon had four local central labor bodies: Central Labor Union; St. Louis Trades Assembly; Arbeiter-Verband (German workers) and District Assembly No. 4 of the Order of the Knights of Labor. Reflecting the national split between the Knights of Labor and the AFL, the St. Louis central labor bodies divided over the issue of union labels and trade union membership. The Central Labor Union, the St. Louis Trades Assembly, and the Arbeiter-Verband merged to form the St. Louis Trades and Labor Assembly. In 1897 the name was changed to the Central Trades and Labor Union of St. Louis and Vicinity. Made up of individual trade unions, the C.T.&L.U. supported the Street Car Men's Union in the railway strike of 1900, brewery strikes of the late 1880's, "Kelley's Army" of unemployed in 1894, the "Eight Hour" strike of the Typographical Union, the hotel and restaurant employees strike of 1920, and countless others. It also supported political and civic improvements: workman's compensation; women's suffrage; free public school textbooks; a free municipal bridge; establishment of more public high schools and New Deal social legislation.

They move their headquarters, reorganize or add to their functions, and merge with other organizations. This Supplement includes all such changes that have come to the attention of the Bureau since the 1975 Directory was issued. The changes were obtained from a variety of sources, including publications of the organizations. Some labor organizations informed the Bureau by letter. The Bureau is grateful for this practice because it improves the usefulness of the Directory by providing accurate and timely information. Information in this supplement is current through February 2, 1978. Nine organizations that were listed in the basic Directory have been deleted and eight organizations have been added to this Supplement as follows: Additions Union of Professional Airmen (AFL-CIO) Composers and Lyricists Guild of America (Ind.)
