JOHN RAE AS A ROUNDTABLE SPEAKER RE: DISABILILTIES AND LABOUR RIGHTS
by Krishna Lalbiharie 13 Apr '18

13 Apr '18

Hi, folks! My apologies for pressing this now, but we've little time left re: SSHRC grant app. Rhonda has rightly reminded our WGSCC Committee that our conference ought to include labour voices, which reflect people with disabilities. To that end, she has suggested that we approach John Rae as a prospective roundtable speaker, whose bio can be viewed here: http://www.innoversity.com/roadmap/speakers/john-rae/ Says Rhonda (of Rae): "Rae was an active union member in the ON public service; he remains an active advocate for people with disabilities and their workplace struggles; he can speak expertly to challenges with human rights commissions for people with disabilities dealing with workplace discrimination; he also played a key role in the Canadian Human Rights Museum’s universal access committee; and has consulted with CMHR on a variety of issues related to people with disabilities." It sounds like a no-brainer to me. Rae can easily fit into the second Roundtable panel and, what's more, will serve as a critical and unique, leading voice in conversations re: disability rights and labour issues. Can I get a vote, here, from committee members to extend Rae a Roundtable invite? And quickly (forgive me)? KL 204.899.8687

Responses to Proposals
by James Naylor 12 Apr '18

12 Apr '18

Hi all, I'm going to contact those who made proposals and tell them, for the most part, that they have been accepted and we will get back to them closer to the time of the conference with the schedule and any other guidelines. For those who were not there, we returned to the issue late in the meeting. There were 3 proposals that we were debating: Mancini, Fairbairn, and Bako. We decided to find a place for Mancini in one of the other panels, and to reject Fairbairn's proposal. On Bako, we decided that I would contact him and suggest that he play some other role in the conference. Shortly afterwards, I was talking to my daughter Adrie, who some of you know (she works for Workers United in Toronto) who had just returned from the Labor Notes conference in Chicago. She was quite keen that we have a session on young workers and said that she would be willing to participate and/or to find someone. I think she has a point that we do want to have something addressing young workers as it would be attractive to the MFL Young Members Assembly. I won't contact Bako immediately, but let me know what you think about constructing a session addressing young workers. Also, after the deadline I was contacted by Myer Siemiatycki at Ryerson, who missed the deadline and wanted to see if he could still apply. He was a contributor to Craig Heron, ed., The Workers' Revolt in Canada, 1917-1925. He is interested in presenting on the Mathers' Commission that was investigating industrial relations in 1919. I said that I would ask the committee if we would accept a proposal from him.

Hi, all! So, this is very URGENT, as discussed at yesterday's WGSCC Committee meeting re: SSHRC application. I am attaching a word doc pitch, which I will send (and properly configure) to all suggested ROUNDTABLE speakers. Note, too, that I will attach a proper letterhead, poster and general "ABOUT US" piece as a PDF alongside the request. *PLEASE SUGGEST CHANGES, RHONDA AND JIM M., ESPECIALLY! :-)* What's more, below (in the body of this email), please take note of the following email addresses, which, if need correcting, please do let me know! To that end, note that I haven't a current address for Jerry Woods (his old MB Human Rights Commission email is no longer receivable on his end), but I will be able to acquire said later today for close acquaintances. *Further, I still require a contact name re: IRON & EARTH (ALBERTA). Can you help, Jeff T.?* ALSO, please do indicate from the list below if you are able to do personal phone call or email follow-up with friends/colleagues that you know well — this after my initial email request of roundtable speakers this afternoon. (I would recommend that you begin contacting your personal connections either this late afternoon or tomorrow, certainly.) FYI, the following has been agreed upon (so far) re: follow-ups: *KRISHNA: Pam Palmater, Jerry Woods, Bilan Arte, Alia Karim* *PAUL MOIST: Victor Elkins, Fred Hahn* All my best for now! Hope to send all invites by noon, with follow-ups thereafter — and surely at least till Wednesday, as agreed, re: Rhonda and Jim M's request. KL 204.899.8687 ++++++++++ *1.

I write to you on behalf of the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike Centenary Conference Committee, which proudly hosts *THE 1919 WINNIPEG GENERAL STRIKE CENTENARY CONFERENCE (WGSCC): BUILDING A BETTER WORLD from May 9-11, 2019 in Winnipeg, Manitoba.* As you know, the Winnipeg General Strike of 1919 was a landmark moment in North American working-class history. In May and June that year, over 30,000 workers ceased work for six weeks. Provoked by the inequities of industrial capitalism, the authoritarianism of their workplaces, the brutal experiences of the First World War, rising prices and stagnating wages, an insecure economic outlook, intransigent employers, and a federal state that responded to their demands with growing repression, the city’s workers stood together in an astounding display of unity. This was also an era filled with hope; the horrors of industrialization and militarism encouraged many to think of ways of constructing a better world. The combination of anger and hope was infectious. In 1919, Winnipeg workers displayed an inspiring unity, facing hunger, threats of permanent dismissal and blacklisting, and violence at the hands of authorities, most notably in the vicious assault they unleashed on “Bloody Saturday,” killing two workers and injuring many more. A century later, the WGSCC Committee seeks to commemorate, honour and better understand these events by way of this historical conference gathering of approximately 200 activists, organizers, scholars, trade unionists and social justice and labour rights advocates from across Canada and beyond. Over the course of three themed days (May 9-11, 2019), WGSCC delegates will participate in concurrent sessions led by several invited conference paper presenters — *with each day concluding with a PLENARY/ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION led by three-to-five solicited speakers, whose experiences, expertise and prolific work in the area of labour rights and related social justice movements and scholarship remains significant.* *To that end, the WCSCC Committee invites you to participate as a WGSCC ROUNDTABLE SPEAKER in one of three plenary sessions planned within our conference’s program schedule, which is arranged under the following themes:* 1. Poverty and the Fight for a Material Existence: The Fight for a Better Life — May 9, 2019 2. Building an Inclusive Labour Movement: Solidarity Across Boundaries — May 10, 2019 3. Labour as a Social Force & Political Leader: A Working-Class Alternative — May 11, 2019 *Specifically, we invite you to participate as a WGSCC ROUNDTABLE SPEAKER on:* <INSERT THEME> While the WGSCC Committee recognizes that our event takes place more than a year from this initial writing,* your quick and positive response to this invitation will certainly help in our overall logistical conference planning and the arrangement of your needs as a WGSCC ROUNDTABLE SPEAKER.* *What’s more, please note that our fundraising efforts and other supports and partnerships will more-than-likely allow for your full travel and accommodation expenses, although we do ask that you request funding from your representative organizations where applicable and possible. * Together with the assistance from organizations and public institutions like the Canadian Committee on Labour History (CCLH); the Canadian Association for Work and Labour Studies (CAWLS); Faculties of Arts at Brandon University, the University of Manitoba and the University of Winnipeg; the Manitoba Federation of Labour (MFL); and the Winnipeg Labour Council (WLC) we hope to receive you as a WGSCC ROUNDTABLE SPEAKER in respect of this unique and critical event in the history of Canadian labour rights activism and human rights and anti-poverty advocacy. Note, too, that the WGSCC Committee is actively securing the participation of one or more renowned and prominent keynote speakers, which, together with a host of other conference activities, promises to make our 1919 commemorative efforts a fantastic draw for the whole of Winnipeg and Canada, altogether! Again, the WGSCC Committee looks forward to your positive and quick response to this request and is available to answer any questions you may have! To this end, please connect with: Jim Naylor WGSCC Committee Chair 204.727.9644 (office) 204.720.2117 (cell) Naylor(a)BrandonU.ca Please do survey our current WGSCC website for further information: 1919-2019.com Follow us on Facebook, too: facebook.com/1919WinnipegGeneralStrikeConference/ In Solidarity! Krishna Lalbiharie WGSCC Committee Member 204.899.8687 krishna.lalbiharie(a)gmail.com *WGSCC ROUNDTABLE THEMES* *1. Poverty and the Fight for a Material Existence: The Fight for a Better Life — May 9, 2019* Just as workers in 1919 sought to lift themselves and their communities out of poverty and win a fairer share of the fruits of economic growth, 21st-century workers are facing worsening material conditions: stagnating wages and increasing precarious employment, along with cuts to social services that increase demands upon working-class families. The “Fight for 15,” struggles for family supports such as child care, and the rise of antipoverty movements are at the forefront of today’s organizing, reflecting the ways in which neoliberalism has forced the fight for a living wage and a working-class economic security onto centre stage. *2. Building an Inclusive Labour Movement: Solidarity Across Boundaries — May 10, 2019* A century ago, Winnipeg was a divided city – not only along the lines of class, but workers were, themselves, divided along lines of race and ethnicity. A capitalist labour market pitted “British Canadian” and “immigrant” workers against each other; the First World War heightened fears of the “foreigners,” and the economic insecurity that faced returning soldiers at the end of the war led, on occasion, to confrontations on the streets of Winnipeg. Amazingly, attempts by employers to use bigotry to divide the city’s strikers failed. Today, governments and businesses use international borders, an exclusionary “citizenship” which often denies workers from abroad a range of social and labour rights, and post 9/11 xenophobia, to ensure their control over labour. The lessons of overcoming these divisions and fighting for common, expanded rights, are as central today as they were then, and include a growing understanding of the rights of Indigenous people as First Peoples and as workers. *3. Labour as a Social Force & Political Leader: A Working-Class Alternative — May 11, 2019* The Winnipeg General Strike was part of a continent-wide, even an international, labour revolt that saw unions, mass strikes and working-class parties act in their own name. In Winnipeg, despite the defeat of the strike, socialist and labour parties continued the fight by other means. This was an era in which labour was the voice of the dispossessed; if there was a solution to the problems that capitalism brought, it was represented by labour. In the 21st century, a wide range of social movements address issues that were often unimagined a century ago. Building an effective response to a wide range of assaults on the environment, and in defence of Indigenous rights, gender rights, on the rights of the disabled, and so much more, requires education, organizing, and mobilization. To what extent are these class issues that labour needs to centrally address? Can labour lead in building a better world in which all forms of oppression and exploitation are fought?

FW: 2019 speaking event

Here is the CCPA request. Please add this to your agendas. julie From: Molly McCracken [mailto:molly.mccracken@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2018 10:40 AM To: Julie Guard Cc: Ellen Smirl Subject: Re: 2019 speaking event Hi Julie I hope this email does not come too late for the committee meeting. I spoke with Jason Hooper last week. Upon reflection, I changed what I suggested to you earlier regarding possible CCPA MB involvement to the following: Would the committee and WECC be supportive of a third event with Bragg where he speaks at Knox Church? We could have an interesting format, perhaps interview style with a prominent Winnipegger. I understand Bragg is a good speaker and has done this type of thing before. I suggested this to Jason and he said he'd think about it and talk to the committee.

Billy Bragg will be fantastic. His name came up when we met on the collaboration between the 1919 Strike Committee and CCPA MB at the Good Will back in the summer. I'm suggesting that it be explored that the public event be held at a larger venue, Knox. WECC will sell out very quickly for Bragg. It sounds like the conference committee wants to hold the event for conference attendees at the Labour Temple, which makes a lot of sense to me. I'd like to just float the idea by Jason to see what he thinks. It sounds like the Billy Bragg events are taking precedence so I'd like to explore CCPA's involvement.

CCPA would love to be able to support this event if possible, and if so, Molly suggested she could speak to Jason about how CCPA could partner in hosting a larger event.

I regret to tell you that we neglected to discuss the role of the CCPA. It just slipped by us, but I don’t think the opportunity has disappeared. Our understanding is that the conference would engage him, if he is available and will come, to perform, as would the WECC. So if we can either singly or jointly arrange a speaking engagement, that should still be possible.

WGSCC COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES: FEBRUARY 3, 2018
by Krishna Lalbiharie 03 Mar '18

03 Mar '18

Terribly sorry, friends. This is horrifically late. :( See you in an hour! Krishna ++++++++++ *MINUTES: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2018* 1919 GENERAL STRIKE CENTENARY CONFERENCE COMMITTEE Present: Krishna Lalbiharie Scott Price Jim Naylor Paul Jenkins Julie Guard Paul Moist Sharon Reilly David Camfield Jeff Taylor Jim Mochoruk Rhonda L. Hinther *1. Billy Bragg * Rhonda Hinther will further speak with Jason Hooper of the West End Cultural Centre (WECC) re: possibility of Billy Bragg speaking and/or performing at the conference – most likely for the Friday night event. Rhonda will also see about speaking with James Patterson to this end, too. David Camfield recommends that we connect with Basia Sokal re: programming of the Friday evening event to ensure that no conflicts exist re: Bragg proposal. *2. Liaison Committee Member with MFL* Paul Moist recommends that we establish better communication with Manitoba Federation of Labour. Jim Naylor will email Kevin Rebeck and Basia Sokal and see if they can become more involved in our committee’s work. *3. Call for Papers Advertising* Jim Naylor reported that we have not received many responses from our Call for Papers advertisements over our website. Recommends that we all write to friends and colleagues directly and request proposals. Scott Price offers to write an article about the conference and CFP for www.rankandfile.ca . Krishna will create a Facebook event page to further advertising efforts. *4. Panels* General discussion about the need to have a structure in place and the need to write individuals and see what kind of panels that might wish to organize. *5. Keynote Speakers* Julie and Krishna are continuing to liaise with James Patterson re: Arundhati Roy. Julie and Krishna to write a pitch letter, which James will forward to Roy’s agent. The budget should be able to sustain two keynotes in addition to Roy. Paul Jenkins has statistically scored our 13 recommendations for keynotes (not including Roy), with Jane McAlevey (on the crisis of the labour movement in the 21st century) and Saru Jayaraman (the fight for the $15) as ranked no. 1 and no. 2, respectively. Krishna will contact both Jane and Saru to determine their availability and their fees. If neither Jane or Saru are available, Krishna will work his way down the list of remaining 11 choices, which are 3. Barbara Ehrenreich 4. Phil Jennings 5. Keeanga-Yamahtta 6. Bill Fletcher 7. Selina Todd 8. Mike Davis 9. David Jones 10. China Mieville 11.Baldemar Velasquez 12. Srecko Horvat 13. Dave Zirin If Jane McAlevey agrees to come, it’s possible that the trade movement could offset her costs by engaging her for training. *6. Roundtables* Paul Moist recommends that we need to establish the context for each of the three general roundtables. It’s very important that at the start of each roundtable, a member of this committee (or experts on the topic) should provide introductions re: historical setting, etc. David Camfield raises concerns about travel subsidies for prospective speakers. Jim Mochoruk suggests that the monies received through the SSHRC grant should be used to cover these needs. David Camfield and Paul Moist suggests that we need to determine the themes of each roundtable and then based on those, we determine who might be best to constitute the roundtable. The committee agrees to proceed as such. *A. ROUNDTABLE: THE STRUGGLE FOR A BETTER LIFE* Themes around this section include the following: • Living wage/Fight for $15 • Guaranteed annual income (GAI) • Anti-poverty activism (local examples include Indigenous-led organizations, Bear Clan Patrol) • Negotiating fairness *B. SOLIDARITY ACROSS BOUNDARIES/BUILDING AN INCLUSIVE LABOUR MOVEMENT* Themes around this section include the following: • Making labour a social force • Indigenous rights and labour • Rights or temporary workers • Justice for migrant workers • Quebec Solidaire as an example of building solidarity movements • Injury of one is an injury to all – harkens back to struggles of the industrial movement • Where does the labour movement fit in with the rest of society? *C. BUILDING A WORKING-CLASS ALTERNATIVE* • Labour movement forming its own political party • Labour councils and their significance — labour centrals • Labour as a social movement (Basia Sokal, WLC should be represented on this panel) After a lengthy discussion on all three proposed roundtables, it was agreed that a subcommittee should be struck to further flesh out themes and ideas and to recommend prospective speakers to each of said and to report back to the larger committee. Rhonda Hinther noted the importance that when exploring themes and speakers that we do so with gender equity in mind. Jim Mochoruk added the importance of completing this work ASAP in respect of grant applications, etc. David Camfield noted the importance of giving the subcommittee very clear parameters of work and tasks. David Camfield, Paul Moist, Scott Price and Jim Naylor will constitute the subcommittee and will report back to the larger WGSCC committee at our next meeting. Next meeting: Saturday, March 3, 2018 | 1:30PM | University of Winnipeg

Hi Everyone: A couple of the people I contacted about the conference have sent their proposals to me directly. I am attaching two that I suspect did not get sent to the drop box. You may have been on the case, Jim, and already included them, in which case, the usual apologies to everyone for multiple emails. They are attached. julie Julie Guard Professor, History and Labour Studies University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB R3T 2N2 Phone: 204-474-7110 Email: julie.guard(a)umanitoba.ca

WGSCC Meeting Saturday
by James Naylor 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

Hi everyone, Just a reminder that we are meeting this Saturday, March 3, at 1:30 in our usual place (2B23 University of Winnipeg). The main reason for the meeting is to see where we are with proposals and figure out what we need to do to round out the program. You should all have access to the proposals through Dropbox. Let me know if you are having trouble. I've been updating the Dropbox files, so check back. We also want to have a discussion of the roundtables, so have a look at what the subcommittee proposed so we can begin to contact people. Let me know if there are other items of business that we should deal with. Thanks, and see you on Saturday.

25 Feb '18

Hi everyone, We've begun to get more proposals! I'm organizing the proposals into two folders (one for individual paper proposals, the other for panel proposals) and I will share them with all of you on Dropbox. I will keep them updated as they come in. This way, I hope, everyone will be as prepared as they can be for our March 3rd meeting where we will discuss them, and see where we are at. Let me know if you have any trouble accessing the Dropbox folders.

please respond: travel subsidies
by Julie Guard 12 Feb '18

12 Feb '18

Dear All: Thanks for the budget information, Jim. It appears that we are working with a pretty restricted budget at this point: $25,000 won't go very far. I understand that we are hoping to attract more funds from other sources, but we will need to be careful until we know we'll have more money for travel and other costs. It might be useful for us to develop a ballpark idea about how much we expect to get from registrations and contributions. Meanwhile, I would appreciate it if this committee would consider whether we can offer air fare for this scholar if that person chose to submit a proposal and it was accepted. Air fare would probably be about $800. This person is an established and well-regarded labour historian who has published two very well-regarded monographs with prestigious academic presses as well as a number of articles in highly ranked academic journals. In other words, this labour historian would add significant value and prestige to our conference. The person does not have an academic position and therefore does not have access to research funds, which people in faculty positions do have. I have no idea whether air fare alone would be sufficient to attract this person, but it would be worth a try. At this point, things are not looking good for us. We have far too few paper proposals and no panel proposals. I have reached out to my friends across Canada and I believe a few established labour historians do plan to propose. But at the moment, I suggest we do our best to attract a few more papers by offering at least air fare to worthy proposals from people who do not have faculty positions. Perhaps committee members would weigh in on this so I can respond to the scholar with information that a subsidy can be found for a proposal that is accepted from a precariously employed scholar. Thanks for responding! julie From: 1919-conference-bounces(a)lists.umanitoba.ca [mailto:1919-conference-bounces@lists.umanitoba.ca] On Behalf Of Mochoruk, James Sent: Saturday, February 10, 2018 10:40 PM To: 1919 conference organizing committee Subject: Re: [1919-Conference] travel subsidies Hi Folks, The only thing that I might add is that the budgeting exercise was predicated on the Committee's desire to provide travel assistance to invited roundtable participants, graduate students and (poorly paid) community/labour activists who were contributing to the conference in one way or other, and other participants who might not be able to afford their own travel costs. The SSHRC grant for which we intend to apply would provide at least $25,000 for that express purpose. Other funds which we may acquire - from unions and other sponsors might also be directed in this direction. It seemed that this was the will of the committee and was generally agreed to in preliminary budget discussions - but no hard and fast rules or policies have been established - at least not that I know of.

We did have a brief discussion of this last meeting in the context of the roundtables in which we affirmed that the first priority is to pay the travel and accommodation of roundtable participants. It is hard to know what that will add up to. I think it is our intention of being able to subsidize low wage academics and activists beyond this but I'm not sure how concrete we can be about amounts. Jim M. and Rhonda, who have been working on the budget can add something here, if they can. The call for papers did indicate that we were applying for funding for the general purpose of subsidizing attendance to the extent that it is possible. I'm just not sure how much more we can say about this until we know how successful our SSHRC application is. Comments?

If we do have one, could someone please send me the details? If we don't have one, I suggest that it's urgent to get one before our deadline of 28 February. The possibility of travel support will make a critical difference to some potential presenters. One for sure is a person we'd be very happy to have. If we do not have a policy, I suggest we develop one before the deadline, even if that requires us to meet (as it were) online.
