From the Vault 538: Labor Unions and Organizers

This week on From the Vault we celebrate Labor Day by looking back at Labor Unions and Organizers almost 20 years ago.

In 1998, Longtime Pacifica Producer Larry Bensky profiled the state of the Labor Movement by reaching out to several prominent organizers: Rosalinda Guillene of the United Farm Workers, Richard Dyle, President of LOCAL 683 in Erie, Pennsylvania, and labor writer David Bacon.

From the Vault is presented as part of the Pacifica Radio Archives Preservation and Access Project, funded in part by an award from the GRAMMY Foundation and the National Historical Publications and Records Commission at the National Archives and Records Administration, and past grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Ford Foundation, and the American Archive funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, along with the generous support of Pacifica Radio Listeners. We also thank our partners and collaborators at the Pop-Up Archive, Amara, Other Minds Archives, George Blood Audio, and the California Audio Visual Preservation Project.
