4. Labor event observation report

The object of this assignment is to learn something about how contemporary labor movements operate. You should make plans to observe a labor event, either a cultural event, meeting, picket line, or protest. Then submit a 3-page (double spaced) report describing what you have seen and offering observations and analysis of what it reveals about contemporary labor culture. What attitudes and practices do you observe? Do they reflect aspects of labor history and labor culture that we have been discussing in class?  By labor culture I mean ideas, values, rituals, symbols, tactics, etc. Grades will be based on the quality of observations and the quality of writing. Deadline: May 13.

A good way to learn about events is to check The Stand, the daily blog of the Washington State Labor Council: http://www.thestand.org 

Upcoming events (check back frequently. I post them as I learn about them)
