Labor Day

on CATV Government Channel 1085/170

Rest easy this coming weekend, because CATV will be keeping its nose to the grindstone. We're doing a deep dive into all things work-related

We are all fast-food workers

Hear labor historian Annelise Orleck, author of We Are All Fast-Food Workers Now, at the Norwich Bookstore in this 2018 appearance recorded by CATV. This Dartmouth professor met low-wage workers from Brazil to South Africa to Chicago to rural Vermont and documented their struggle for higher pay. Some credit her book for jumpstarting the movement to increase the U.S. minimum wage.

Advanced guard of a massive moral revolution

Labor leader and MLK aide A. Philip Randolph got his start as a Harlem elevator operator before organizing Black railroad workers and compelling Uncle Sam to employ African-Americans in defense factories. A co-organizer of the March on Washington, Randolph inspired the audience, "We are the advance guard of a massive moral revolution for jobs and freedom."

Courage 101 produced by George Spencer for CATV

"Stick" We Win: The Amoskeag Strike of 1922

One hundred years ago 15,000 Manchester, NH mill workers walked off their jobs at the Amoskeag Mills in an important event in labor history that marked the beginning of the end of the state's textile industry.

Produced by the Manchester Historical Society

Antitrust at the crossroads

Dartmouth's Rockefeller Center presents Federal Trade Commissioner Noah Joshua Phillips '00 reflecting on the goals of antitrust, the populist voices calling for reform, and whether the antitrust laws are equipped to solve every societal ill the reformists want competition law to address. This one's pretty brainy, but don't worry. There will be no final exam at CATV.
