Resumen
SummaryThe disaster committee is a mechanism for educating health care workers for the unpredictable consequences of serious natural and manmade calamities. Planning is the key, and the disaster committee must strive toward this challenging objective.A persistent and positive attitude can make the difference between the disaster committee's success of failure. By using some very old principles of good management and organization, and adding some new concepts, a disaster committee can be an effective and worthwhile venture.

Resumen
Sport mega-event organizing committees have three uniquely challenging characteristics: They grow rapidly; they are temporary; they are accountable for event symbolisms. Effects of these characteristics are examined via participant observation and in-depth interviews with twelve lower-level employees of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (BOCOG) two years before the Beijing Olympics. Four themes about their working lives were identified: The daily work is mundane; BOCOG is bureaucratic; privilege has its privileges; my immediate working environment nurtures me. The mega-event context was also important; workers described it using: The Olympics are great and grand; the Olympics are valuable for China; the Olympics illustrate the challenges that China faces in the 21st century; BOCOG is uniquely high profile; BOCOG helps us to understand Chinese society. Employees used four themes to describe the coping strategies they applied to manage the challenges of working for the organizing committee: I have to confront or adjust; my work at BOCOG allows me to develop myself; working at BOCOG represents a passionate life with idealism; I get to be part of history. Findings suggest that social support, the symbolic significance of the event, and learning through event work mitigate the stresses of working to host a mega-event. Future work should examine the workers’ lives longitudinally over the lifespan of an organizing committee to delineate the dynamics of meanings and experiences in mega-event work.

Resumen
I was not one of David's students, though I wanted to be. I had applied to Yale for graduate school and had gone up to New Haven to meet him beforehand. But I didn't get in. Apparently, the admissions committee (which he wasn't on that year) considered it too risky to admit someone who had worked in the labor movement, in light of the union organizing going on among Yale's graduate students and employees. I thought this was ironic because, although I was sympathetic to the Yale organizing, I was searching for the life of the mind. If I had wanted to organize workers, I would have continued what I was already doing. In any case, I ended up elsewhere, and I've had no complaints about my graduate education. David and I stayed in touch over the years, and I was honored by a kind review he wrote of my first book in the Journal of Social History.

Resumen
Among the 40,000 workers in Canada’s largest workplace, Lester B. Pearson International Airport in Toronto, a small but significant group of worker-organizers has created the Toronto Airport Workers’ Council (TAWC), a nonunion organization open to all Pearson workers. In this paper, we discuss the capitalist context of Canadian labor relations and the neoliberal restructuring that has attacked working conditions and workers’ solidarity across the airline industry. Then, after examining the insufficient responses by the twelve Pearson unions, we explain how workers formed the TAWC, whose participatory structures, direct action strategy, and broader class focus have achieved considerable successes, despite tensions with union leaders wary of potential “dual unionism.” We also discuss how the TAWC provides a space for socialist-led workplace organizing training and political education by the Toronto Labour Committee. Finally, we explore the possible roles of this council model in labor movement renewal and labor education in socialist movement renewal.

Resumen
The article examines the activities of the Ivanovo-Voznesensk military-industrial committee in 1915– 1917. Close attention to the object of study is determined by the fact that Ivanovo-Voznesensk was the center of the largest textile region in Russia, and the local military-industrial committee united enterprises with a total number of more than 30 thousand workers. On the basis of the analysis of the archival documents of the committee, the author comes to the conclusion that the sole direction of its activity was the supply of the army with military equipment: the production of grenade and shell cases, and the production of asphyxiant gas. For this, special enterprises (shell and phosgene plants) were founded, generously financed by the members of the Committee. They regularly carried out deliveries for the military department. On the other hand, the local textile enterprises, which fulfilled large defense orders for the supply of fabrics, found themselves outside the sphere of influence of the military-industrial committee. All factories received orders and reported on them independently. Based on this, the thesis is confirmed that the military-industrial committees were not monopolists in the distribution of military orders. Even the attempts of local manufacturers, with the help of the military-industrial committee, to ensure the allocation of additional labor, raw materials, fuel and equipment were not very successful. As a result, no more than 40 % of the capacities of the Ivanovo-Voznesensk textile industry were mobilized for “defense production”. In addition, there is absolutely no trace of the role of the local military-industrial committee in the political organization of the bourgeoisie in Ivanovo-Voznesensk. This can be attributed to the fact that, on the one hand, the committee solved mainly economic problems, and, on the other hand — that the local bourgeoisie had other economic and political organizations that had operated long before the committee was created.

Resumen
AbstractPopular discourse and academic scholarship both accent divisions between African American and immigrant workers. These debates most often focus on the question of job competition, positioning African Americans and immigrant workers asa prioriadversaries in the labor market. We take a different tack. Drawing upon a case study of hotel workers in Chicago, we identify ways in which workers themselves challenge and bridge these divisions. Specifically, we reveal how union organizing activities, such as diverse committee representation and inclusion of diversity language in contracts, counter notions of intergroup competition in an effort to build common cause that affirms rather than denies differences. We argue that these activities represent political efforts on the part of workers to contest and even reshape the racial and ethnic division of labor, thereby revealing competition as a socially contingent and politically mediated process.

Resumen
Back to the shop floor! This book is a welcome addition to the literature of American labor in the mid-twentieth century. Through meticulous analysis of steel workers at the workplace in Duquesne, Pennsylvania, James D. Rose explains the emergence and eventual victory of the Steel Workers Organizing Committee (SWOC), a part of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), in all its complexity. In doing so, he reveals the inadequacy of Lizabeth Cohen's culture of unity as well as Staughton Lynd's militant alternative unionism to explain the labor history of the 1930s. In addition, he reintroduces the idea that the federal government's role in industrial relations was crucial to the success of the CIO.

Resumen
Abstract This chapter traces the origins and consequences of textile deindustrialization in South Coast Massachusetts. Deindustrialization was not an inevitable product of industrial maturation, widening wage differentials, or global competition. Instead, certain workers (and certain business leaders) made deliberate choices that led to industrial collapse. While some workers pursued expansive organizing drives in the hope of undercutting the lure of capital mobility, many skilled workers remained committed to craft insularity and local autonomy. While some elite textile mill operators—realizing that they could readily liquidate their mills or move elsewhere—refused to tackle thorny problems like market saturation or outdated technology, a much larger group of business operators sought to preserve northern industry. Labor and capital never spoke with one voice. The internal conflicts among them would prove decisive in causing industrial catastrophe.

Resumen
This chapter offers an overview of interpretive techniques employed in museums to discuss southern labor activism. With Columbus, Georgia, as a case study, the benefits of utilizing multiple perspectives are examined in museum exhibitions that addressed textile strikes, child labor, rural migration to mill towns, and race relations. It argues for using photographs such as Lewis Wickes Hine's work and other labor-focused historical or contemporary artwork to present labor history through interdisciplinary interpretation. Finally, the chapter suggests ways to navigate the introduction of potentially controversial topics when institutional donors may be reluctant to do so because of family ties, political beliefs, or a desire to maintain the status quo.

Resumen
This chapter describes workers in the construction trades, who are known to be out of work intermittently given the nature of the work and would have justifiably raised hell if unemployment benefits were taken away from them. It mentions Mark Butler, a Georgia labor commissioner, who cut off access to unemployment benefits for contracted school workers in the state, the majority of whom were Black women. School workers enlisted the support of Atlanta Jobs With Justice and others to reverse Butler's decision, establishing a community-based hub for organizing the Justice for School Workers Committee. The chapter details how the community-based coalition was able to win $8 million in previously denied unemployment benefits paid directly back to the workers. It mentions other organizations that are still organizing and trying to identify opportunities to collectively confront the powers that be in Georgia's public- and private-education sector.

Resumen
Abstract Unionizing the dispersed, divided, and relatively conservative telephone workforce was a daunting task. Workers nevertheless began to form independent organizations, which affiliated into a weak National Federation of Telephone Workers (NFTW) during World War II. While the NFTW became a more centralized Communications Workers of America (CWA), the ACA also was organizing telephone locals. CWA leaders and many telephone workers were hostile to the Communist-led ACA and, as the US adopted a global Cold War policy between 1946 and 1948, the CIO abandoned its big-tent social unionism. It formed a Telephone Workers Organizing Committee (TWOC) to establish an avenue of affiliation with the CIO that bypassed the left-led ACA and subsumed ACA’s jurisdiction over telephony. CWA was admitted as a CIO affiliate while ACA was expelled from the federation. This process exacted a steep price, as social unionism was supplanted by a business unionism allied to US foreign policy.

Resumen
This chapter provides an overview of the anthracite women in the labor force. Initially, the textile industry found its way into northeastern Pennsylvania as manufacturers escaped organized labor. Initially, daughters worked in these mills to help supplement the income of the miner workers’ families. They worked for lower wages compared to those in East Coast union mills. The International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union (ILGWU) became a strong organizing force. As a result, the industry fled to the unorganized South and eventually offshore. In recent years, the ready-made garment industry has grown tremendously in developing countries, where unchecked capitalism continues to affect the health and safety of the new garment workers.

The NAWU launched a public relations war against the Bracero Program to expose its negative effects. The NAWU pressed the newly merged AFL-CIO to organize farmworkers, but factional disputes between the AFL and CIO wings—and George Meany and Walter Reuther—meant union proposals went nowhere. A growing farmworker reform coalition focused on curtailing growers’ power. Labor Secretary James Mitchell increased enforcement. By 1959, reform energies catalyzed by the NAWU mobilized activists and the Department of Labor. They consolidated in the National Advisory Committee on Farm Labor, which embarrassed the AFL-CIO and forced it to announce the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee (AWOC).

Resumen
This chapter examines Kang Churyong's association with the communist movement in the region, which at the time was concentrating its resources on the task of organizing industrial workers into revolutionary unions. A women's movement activist, Cho Yŏngok, served as a link between Kang and communist organizers. The chapter explores how the contemporary women's movement positioned itself toward women industrial workers and labor issues and surveys the rise of a new generation of educated “new women,” some of whom were, like Cho Yŏngok, joining underground operations to organize women workers at rubber and textile factories. The surge of women worker militancy provoked intense interest not only from communist activists but also from radical writers who began to compose activist yŏgong characters in their literary works. The chapter ends with an exploration of some of these works, stories that portray rubber workers in particular.

Resumen
In 1937 thousands of laundry workers gathered at the Rand School of Social Science, where they voted unanimously to abandon the AFL and join the newly organized CIO. After a few months of organizing under the banner of the CIO, the workers agreed to affiliate with the powerful men’s clothing union: the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America. The garment union provided the resources for the workers to conduct a citywide campaign that harnessed the workers’ growing solidarities and the expertise of worker leaders such as Charlotte Adelmond and Jessie Smith. It was under the ACWA that New York’s laundry workers founded the Laundry Workers Joint Board, which by 1940 had secured contracts covering all of the branches of the industry. This chapter argues that this dramatic union victory, more than thirty years in the making, was the result of numerous factors, including the Wagner Act, the support of allies such as the WTUL, the Negro Labor Committee and the League of Women Shoppers, communist organizing, and, most significantly, the militant industrial and interracial unionism of the workers themselves. Drawing on the scholarship of resource mobilization theorists and collective identity theorists, this chapter argues that the simultaneous presence of adequate union resources and internal activist solidarities enabled the workers to overcome their long-standing occupational and social divisions and build a movement powerful enough to bring the city’s antiunion employers to the bargaining table.

Resumen
In January 1934, during one of the worst years of the Depression for job scarcity, over four hundred laundry workers from the Sunshine and Colonial Laundries in Brooklyn walked off the job. Included among the strikers was African American Dollie Robinson. The employers’ refusal to pay the workers thirty-one cents an hour, the new minimum wage established by New York State’s recently formed Minimum Fair Wage Advisory Committee, precipitated the strike. Supported by elite allies from the WTUL, including Eleanor Roosevelt and Cornelia Bryce Pinchot, the workers, half of whom were Black, stayed out for two months. An analysis of this groundbreaking strike demonstrates the symbiotic relationship between union organizing and legislation and the efficacy of elite support in amplifying the workers’ voices. It also reveals a growing ideological rift between increasingly radicalized workers determined to engage in militant action to enforce their newly won right to organize and their WTUL allies, who continued to promote orderly, respectable behavior to win public sympathy and state support for women’s unionism.

Resumen
The introductory chapter introduces the reader to the key arguments, themes, events, and protagonists in this book about power laundry workers, which spans and discusses the early twentieth-century women’s labor movement, the Great Migration, Black women’s industrial labor and organizing, the Great Depression and New Deal Order, Communist Party organizing during the Third Period and Popular Front, the rise of the industrial union movement and formation of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America’s (ACWA) industrial and social unionism, World War II and the Double V Campaign, labor feminism, civil rights unionism and the long civil rights movement, the 1960s feminist movement, and intersectionality. The chapter introduces the reader to the four key protagonists: Black workers Dollie Robinson and Charlotte Adelmond and white radical Jewish organizers Jessie Taft Smith and Beatrice Shapiro Lumpkin. This chapter tells the reader that the book will provide an analysis of the working conditions and occupational structure in the power laundry industry nationwide (chapters 1 and 2) but then focus on laundry workers in New York City, one of the leading centers of the industry. Chapters 3 through 7 follow the workers’ thirty-year union campaign and argue that a multitude of factors led to unionization in 1937, including Depression-era working conditions, the support of allies in the Women’s Trade Union League, the Communist Party and the Negro Labor Committee, the emergence of the industrial union movement, New Deal labor legislation, and, most importantly, the militant industrial and interracial organizing of the workers themselves. Chapters 7 to 10 demonstrate that unionization under the ACWA-affiliated Laundry Workers Joint Board (LWJB) resulted in marginally better working conditions but that tensions quickly erupted between a predominantly Black workforce determined to pursue a civil rights agenda and a white male leadership, including ACWA president Sidney Hillman, who was intent on exercising tight control over the union and implementing a bureaucratic, business-oriented unionism reminiscent of the CIO’s former nemesis, the American Federation of Labor. Chapter 11 discusses the impact of the leadership’s ousting of Adelmond and Robinson and the suppression of their civil rights unionism for both the laundry workers and organized labor more broadly. This chapter concludes with a brief discussion of sources, including union records, oral histories, census data, legal documents, Women’s Bureau reports, newspapers, and the records of the WTUL and Communist Party.

Resumen
STVgoDigital project aims the transition of the textile and apparel industries to the new Industry 4.0 paradigm promoting the digitalization to increase productivity and efficiency of the entire value chain. Specifically the PPS4 - Worker 4.0, aims to develop disruptive solutions based on sensing and active components within a garment to support repetitive movements that may cause injuries and/or pain in apparel workers. Textile Industry employs 1.7 million people in Europe [1]. Seamstress’s activities are among the most prone to develop pain and fatigue symptoms along time, mainly on the neck, shoulders, and wrists, facing higher musculoskeletal risks caused by precision handwork and static, low-level work postures [2-3]. In Europe, 50% of workers’ absences to work are due to work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) that last for longer periods than absences caused by any other health issue. WRMSDs are responsible for 60% of their permanent incapacity [4]. In a study performed by Oo, 93.8% of the analyzed seamstress’ work experienced WRMSDs [5].In this sense, a textile-based exoskeleton with ergonomic concerns and a challenging textile-based implementation was developed to reduce the physical efforts required to perform different sewing operations in industrial processes. Besides, it would correspond to essential biomechanical specifications to adapt to the human body and avoid common trade-offs related to human-device interfaces. The textile-based exoskeleton that will support the transition to Worker 4.0 generation integrates: a) a sensing system for the detection of movements in real-time, to make it possible to identify the ergonomic posture of the worker, as well as the risk associated with the execution of repetitive working tasks; b) an actuation system to increase body strength and support the upper limb segments correctly, reducing physical efforts and fatigue, eliminating unnecessary movements, and contributing to develop a better ergonomic assessment of the working postures and layout; c) learning and actuation algorithms, with some degree of variability, focused on several movement natures, such as the abduction and elevation of the upper limbs, and finally d) a global integration of the solutions in a wearable, light and flexible garment capable to ensure comfort and adequate execution of the sewing operations while adequately resisting active sensing and actuation systems.Using prototypes, the developed textile-based exoskeleton will be tested in a laboratory and real environment to study and evaluate digital interfaces; measure muscle load and the impact of using the exoskeleton; and evaluate and classify the usability and comfort. A testing protocol was submitted to an ethics committee.
