| I am honored to be
serving as the Harry
Bridges Endowed Chair in Labor Studies.
The Harry
Bridges Chair and Center for Labor Studies
were established in 1992 to honor Harry Bridges,
founder and leader for 40 years of the
International Longshore and Warehouse Union
(ILWU). The chair and center have thrived due to
the tremendous support of the labor community,
including support for the creation of remarkable
the Labor
Archives of Washington State in
2010. Like many people, I am inspired by
Bridges' commitments to worker power, union
democracy, and civil and human rights. |
