2020 Peggy Browning Summer Fellows
Educating Law Students on the Rights and Needs of Workers Stay-At-Home Request Program Book Honoring 2020 Peggy Browning Summer Fellows For their achievements on behalf of workers during the pandemic Washington, DC July 2020 LIUNA is Proud to Support the PEGGY BROWNING FUND LABORERS’ INTERNATIONAL UNION OF NORTH AMERICA TERRY O’SULLIVAN ARMAND E. SABITONI General President General Secretary-Treasurer In our 24th year, the Peggy Browning Fund (PBF) pays tribute to our inspiration, Peggy Browning, and to exceptional leaders who have made major contributions to the cause of workers’ rights. Peggy was a very special person – a Member of the National Labor Relations Board; an extraordinary labor lawyer; a skilled ice skater; a hiker; a loving wife and mother; a caring friend and true supporter of the collective bar- gaining process. PBF was established in 1997 by her friends and family to continue her life’s work – helping workers. We thank everyone whose support helped us become the preeminent organization in the country for encouraging and recruiting new lawyers for the labor movement. Our central program is a 10-week summer fellowship in which law students are matched with the needs of a pool of 70 mentoring organizations, including unions, worker centers, and union-side law firms. As everyone is experiencing, 2020 has become a very challenging year for the Peggy Browning Fund and for working people. When everyone received stay-at- home orders in their states due to the pandemic, we had already awarded 91 Summer Fellowships to first and second-year law students. Thanks to a lot of outreach and creativity from PBF staff and our mentors, we’re very happy to report that most of our mentor organizations were able to transition these fellowships to either work from home or another reasonable solution. -

Gordon David, New York City, Representing the Committee For
1192 ECONOMIC SECURITY ACT where the deceased had his home at the time of his death. Only the Federal Government can effectively distribute the burden, because only it can effectively reach incomes and inheritances and make them available for the people of all States. We must remember that the bill here considered does not depend for its con stitutionality on any consideration of the “interstate commerce power”, upon , the argument that the regulation of intrastate business is necessary because of its effect on interstate business. In this respect, this bill rests on a far sounder con stitutional basis than do the N. R. A. and the A. A. A. Those acts stand or fall, depending upon the extent to which the interstate commerce power can be prop erly exercised. But this bill is merely an exercise of the appropriating power. It rests upon the same constitutional basis as do the Reconstruction Finance Corporation Act and Home Owners’ Loan Corporation Act, which involve merely an exercise of the power of Congress to spend Federal moneys. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation Act, the Home Owners’ Loan Cor poration Act, and, indeed, the bulk of the national emergency legislation which has been enacted during the Hoover and Rooseveit administrations, involve an understanding of the national character of our problems. Furthermore, they indicate an appreciation of the inadequacy and the cumbersomeness of the Federal subsidy system. These acts all provide for direct aid to persons, firms, and cor porations in the States. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation supplies Federal moneys direct to bankers throughout country. The Home Owners’ Loan Corporation supplies Federal moneys direct to mort gagees throughout the country. -

Anthracite coal, or hard coal, was first discovered and used by Native Americans and settlers in Northeastern Pennsylvania (Wyoming Valley) in the late 1790s. The anthracite coal fields are separated into three regions: the Wyoming field in the North surrounding Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, the Lehigh field surrounding the city of Hazleton, and the Schuylkill where Pottsville is located. The coal industry in these fields started slowly due few coal markets and poor transportation routes. But on February 11, 1808, Luzerne County Judge Jesse Fell successfully demonstrated the use of burning anthracite coal for domestic purposes at his tavern in Wilkes-Barre. Manuscript Group 109 3 Gradually, however, anthracite coal gained a market for use as a home-heating source due to its high efficiency and clean burning qualities. Also, with the building of canals and improved water ways, transporting anthracite coal to markets in Philadelphia and New York City became cheaper. -

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.
