A Century+ of May Days: Labor and Social struggles International
Conference

In Chicago during May Day weekend 2010, there will be a conference to
discuss, debate and analyze labor and social struggles- both past and
present.

Call for Papers, workshop and panel proposals*

We hope to cover an array of important historical and political topics.
In addition to purely academic pursuits, conference participants will
have the opportunity to participate in the May Day rally organized by
the Chicago Federation of Labor and the Illinois Labor History Society.
If there is sufficient interest, we will set up a Chicago labor history
