DESCRIPTION:The Changing Face of Workers Struggles Worldwide and the Resurgence of May 
 Day Marches in the U.S.\n\nAn illustrated talk by Sharat G. Lin\n\nWhile 
 traditional bureaucratic trade unions have been on the decline in the U.S. 
 and some other industrialized countries, the dimensions of workers 
 struggles have expanded worldwide.  Most notable has been the spread of 
 movements of workers in previously unorganized sectors.  The May Day 
 convergence of workers' and working immigrants' struggles in the U.S. is a 
 response to the social contradictions of globalized capitalism.  A refined 
 class analysis is a prerequisite to addressing the socio-economic interests 
 of differentiated strata of workers.\n\nSharat G. Lin is president of the 
 San Jose Peace and Justice Center.  He writes on global political economy, 
 labor migration, the Middle East, and South Asia.  His book chapter on the 
 resurgence of May Day marches for immigrant and workers' rights was 
 published recently in Studies in Inequality and Social Justice, 2009, 
 edited by Kira Hall.\n\nDonation (sliding scale)\nWheelchair accessible\n
