Just to recap, I am just wondering if I may send my director Erika MacPherson to film a couple panelists at the conference? We are producing a small documentary for CBC Manitoba about the monument being created to commemorate the 1919 strike - this of course is the monument of the tipped over railcar from Bloody Saturday which will go up at Market Square. To illustrate the continuity to today, filming some current issues and events would help the supporting story for the documentary. Erika would like to come on her own [no camera crew] with a camera to film some of your panelists [only with their prior permission of course]. Please let me know if this is something you could support. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. Many thanks for your consideration, [Prairie Boy eSignature - Orlando Braun]<http://www.prairieboyproductions.com>

mini-book launch proposal
by Julie Guard 17 Apr '19

17 Apr '19

Hi All: I haven't given this much thought until now, having been up to my eyeballs in teaching and then marking, but I am guessing that there must be a 30-minute space on the program for me to have a mini-launch of my recently published book, Radical Housewives: Price Wars and Food Politics in Mid-Twentieth Century Canada. It came out in March and has not yet been launched, and I would love to have an opportunity to launch it at our conference. I was thinking there would be a half-hour when we gather at the Goodwill. I could set up a table and give a short description and people who were, for some strange reason, uninterested could talk in a different section of the room. Or maybe there's another spot on the program I haven't thought of. What do people think? julie Julie Guard Professor, History and Labour Studies Office: 117 Isbister Building Mailing address: 218 Isbister Building University of Manitoba 183 Dafoe Road Winnipeg MB R3T 2N2 Phone: 204-474-7110 Email: julie.guard(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:julie.guard@umanitoba.ca>

JANE MCALEVEY RE: FILMING DURING HER PRESENTATION/LIVE-STREAMING
by Krishna Lalbiharie 16 Apr '19

16 Apr '19

Read her comments below. She’s fine with filming, but also asks that we clip soundbitey bits from the larger piece for social media uploads. She says, overall, that she “really doesn’t care” re: live-streaming, but slightly prefers if we don’t.

On the other hand, I don’t really care. What I do ask is that whoever does the video makes themselves available to me for 2-3 small versions of 2-3 minutes of my choosing, shortly after the event. Meaning, I am starting to get these little video snippets that people apparently find useful by asking groups that tape me to let me look at it, pick the best points I make, and, post them to twitter and on my website. For Twitter, it’s max 2 minute clips (Jane learning this shit later in life is so annoying). But if there’s a good point made that might be valuable for the masses, it might be up to 5 minutes and posted on my website. > > IF that’s OK, that whoever your person is does it, great. > > And if you and the committee reeeeallly want it live streamed, that’s OK, too. > > Not really breathing till May 3. > > Cheers > > www.janemcalevey.com > @rsgexp > >

FW: Bilan Arte
by James Naylor 15 Apr '19

15 Apr '19

I just received this from Bilan Arte. This affects the second of the roundtables. I'm going to suggest that the roundtable subcommittee (which included Paul, Scott, David and myself, I believe) talk about it in a couple of days. In the meantime, if anybody has any ideas about how to replace her, please forward them to a member of this group.

I had booked my flights and had every intention on coming, but unfortunately the federal government has scheduled a national summit on disability and work for the exact same day. We just received notice for this summit, and I am the subject matter expert at the CLC so I must prioritize attending this event. I am very sorry for any consequences for my late cancellation. If it is helpful at all, I can prepare a list of alternative speakers that would be great on this topic from the national labour movement. Please let me know if you would find this useful.

Hello all, Paul Moist gave an excellent presentation at our library series today, and to yet another full house, despite the bad press related to security checks and the Jets white-out party preparations that began at 10:00 am. Well done Paul! Sharon Sharon Reilly

Communicative Memories panel
by Janis Thiessen 10 Apr '19

10 Apr '19

Two corrections to this panel: 1. I thought I was chairing this one — it’s a roundtable of folks I interviewed about their ancestors’ strike participation. 2. As for participants, all but Lisa McGifford have said that they can attend. Thank you! Janis

FW: tabling opportunity
by James Naylor 09 Apr '19

09 Apr '19

Hi everyone, I'm forwarding an email from Gina McKay about a "United Way Winnipeg & Labour" table at the conference. I had meant to bring this up at the meeting, but forgot. My feeling is that I think this is fine. It does raise some policy issues, though, for the conference. First is, if they are in the publishers' exhibit area, should they have to pay the $200 - my feeling is no. Where this becomes an issue is if other groups want an information table. As yet, we haven't had any requests from political groups, etc., for tables. But what if we do? My feeling is that we have to allow them to display, but in a hallway somewhere. Is the United Way different? Might others be different? This may turn out to be a non-issue, but I thought it worth raising and sounding people out.

I will be attending as a delegate already, and am a volunteer with the 1919 events committee, but wanted to reach out to help make connections for delegates to our Labour Program services, our national labour education & training opportunities with the Cdn Labour Congress, our social stewarding resource app across Canada (and in Manitoba: mb.211.ca), etc. I think it is a great opportunity to help build stronger relationships with the communities we live and work in, and I'm hoping that you might consider this opportunity. We also have created a window display timeline of Labour & the building and funding of the social service sector in Winnipeg that will be launched in early May that might be of interest to delegates. I have connected with Anna Rothney already about including information for the conference delegate kits, but with that said, I could also see if we might be able to bring along a few of our mounted panels of artifacts and images to have on display. It might be a great eye catching way to make a local, community connection to social justice activism, the work sector, and the supports and resources for our labour movement. Thank you for considering the opportunity and ask. I look forward to hearing from you! Solidarity, Gina McKay Gina McKay Labour Director United Way Winnipeg 580 Main Street, Winnipeg, MB R3B 1C7 Ph.

Bus tour issue
by James Naylor 08 Apr '19

08 Apr '19

Here's our latest issue. There seems to be an issue of capacity for the bus tours. According those working on it, we are limited to smaller busses (max: 38 passengers), and to four busses. This means, of course, only 152 places. We can discuss this a bit on this listserv, but if that's the case, it's fewer than the number registrants. Clearly we cannot offer the tours to the public. The finance committee will discuss the cost implications of this and report back. Finally, Krishna, can you remove the "open to the public" designation beside the bus tours on the webpage? Thanks, Jim James Naylor Professor Department of History Brandon University 270 18th Street Brandon, MB R7A 6A9 Canada Office: 204 727 9664 Cell: 204 720 2117 Naylor(a)BrandonU.ca<mailto:Naylor@BrandonU.ca> people.brandonu.ca/naylorj/<https://people.brandonu.ca/naylorj/> [cid:image001.png@01D1CCA7.E31D2D80]
