Register now for June 25-26 labor history conference

The Pacific Northwest Labor History Association’s will host its 2021 annual labor history conference virtually on Friday and Saturday June 25 and 26 featuring keynote speakers Elise Bryant and Bill Fletcher Jr. The event will also include panel discussions with essential workers, eight workshops/performances, and its annual awards honoring a person and an organization that are making labor history today. (See the event brochure for agenda details.) This conference is free to participants and open to all.

The PNLHA brings a history of struggle for labor and human rights to the forefront. For more than 50 years, it has explored regional, national and international issues, and used music, drama, re-enactments, talks and papers to highlight labor history. In this era of economic inequality and right-wing attacks, we need to remember the struggles of working people and unions to try to make the world a better place.

Register now for the June 25-26 PNLHA conference.
