A proposito di questo titolo

 Often overlooked, The South Coast of Massachusetts -- the southeastern part of the state between Cape Cod and Rhode Island - is a fascinating region with a vibrant working class and immigrant heritage. On South Coast Working, you'll hear the stories of scallop fishermen, seafood processors, textile workers, union leaders, and more. Topics include the decades-long struggle for commuter rail, and the effort to recruit a diverse construction workforce to build the nation's first offshore windfarm. South Coast Working is a project of the Arnold M. Dubin Labor Center at UMass Dartmouth.UMass Dartmouth Arnold M. Dubin Labor Education Center Scienze sociali

    AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler reflects on labor history, while looking to the future
    Jan 21 2026

    Today on South Coast Working we have something a little different for you.

    The UMass Dartmouth Dubin Labor Education Center recently celebrated its 50th anniversary, where AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler received the Dubin award.

    As the proud and aggressive leader of fifteen million workers, she has worked to unite their unions, advance the organizing of new unions and pursue justice for them and the majority of Americans. She’s also shown that every union member can aspire to leadership in America’s labor movement.

    Today we’re sharing her speech from the banquet honoring her work.
