Unions in the Global Economy." The academic program for this event
involved historians, sociologists, economists, anthropologists, and
political scientists who exchanged papers and views on the topic.
Participants came from Canada, Mexico, Chile, Australia, and the United
States.
Labor leaders also attended and represented the views of
working people. Subjects of papers included gender, migration, rural
workers, and industrial labor especially in comparative perspective.
