Thank you very much for having me. Its a real treat and feedback even if only virtually at fordham.

Earlier. He called them the turbulent years. The years that gave rise to the cio and all of the organizing and mieverything we saw then. They werent years of upheaval, organization and progress so much as a big turnabout. A way in which the american working class suddenly took a turn to a different stage in its existence where we could say that from the 30s to the 70s was an experience of almost unbroken progress and expanding rights for workers.

So, turnabout years. I want to start with three stories that help locate what is going on in this period, and talk about whats going on with the economy. Talking about publicsector workers in the period, what they faced, and then conclude with some barometers of whats happening to workingclass america by the end of this period.
