SUMMARY:Wisconsin and the Assault on the Public Sector
DESCRIPTION:What is the political background to the systematic attack on public sector unions\, and on the publicsector more generally\, in Wisconsin\, elsewhere in the Midwest\, and in other places in the US? To\nwhat extent does it have the support of the electorate and the broader public? Our speakers will\nconsider this issue in connection with their analysis of the historic explosion of working class\nresistance in Wisconsin in February 2011\, which broke a long period of labor quiescence in the US.\nThey will evaluate the role of the trade unions in this conflict\, asking if broader\, more militant\ntactics were a realistic option. They will discuss the recall campaign that emerged as the main form\nof carrying on the struggle\, asking what are its chances for success and what it can accomplish.\nThey will debate the future of the movement\, in connection with their understanding of the\nrelationship between the Wisconsin uprising and the Occupy movement that came to fore to\ncontinue struggle the eight months later…posing the question of what role can Occupy play in\ncatalyzing\, and supporting\, battles by the trade union movement and working people more\ngenerally.

SUMMARY:Human Persons\, Incompressible Needs and Minimum Wages in Post-war France
DESCRIPTION:The passage of minimum wage legislation in 1950 led to one of the odder chapters in the history of French bureaucratic committees. Paul Bacon\, Minister of Labor\, convened a High Commission on Collective Bargaining in April of that year to measure a model worker’s budget. Over thirty members strong\, the meeting assembled major leaders of all three unions\, representatives of large and small employers\, artisans\, managers\, family associations and a number of state bureaucrats. Over the following two months\, these men hashed out the principles and the practice of a new republican minimum standard of living. No point proved too fine for debate\, from theoretical reflections on science and measurement to the durability of underwear.The minimum wage commission appears an exemplary moment in postwar French consumer society. First\, it enacted a political contest between unions and employers\, mediated by the state and family associations. Second\, as it called upon expert testimony\, the commission participated in the emergence of an empirical\, policy-oriented postwar social science. Third\, the commission’s work reflected French citizens’ everyday struggle to reconcile scarce resources and expanding consumer desires
