SUMMARY:Authors-Meet-Critics on Skills of the "Unskilled": Work and Mobility Among Mexican Migrants
DESCRIPTION:Most labor and migration studies classify migrants with limited formal education or credentials as “unskilled.” Despite the value of migrants’ work experiences and the substantial technical and interpersonal skills developed throughout their lives\, the labor-market contributions of these migrants are often overlooked and their mobility pathways poorly understood. Skills of the “Unskilled” reports the findings of a five-year study that draws on research including interviews with 320 Mexican migrants and return migrants in North Carolina and Guanajuato\, Mexico. The authors uncover these migrants’ lifelong human capital and identify mobility pathways associated with the acquisition and transfer of skills across the migratory circuit\, including reskilling\, occupational mobility\, job jumping\, and entrepreneurship.

SUMMARY:After Marikana: The State\, the ANC\, and the Future of the Labor Movement in South Africa
DESCRIPTION:The colloquium will be devoted to the crises and conflicts that have wracked the labor movement in South Africa in recent years and the implications of these struggles for the future of South African politics. In 2012\, police from the African National Congress (ANC) government gunned down 44 striking platinum workers in what has come to be known as the Marikana massacre\, a watershed moment for South Africa’s politics and its trade unions.\nThe speakers will consider the historic strike by 70\,000 Association of Mineworkers and Construction Workers (AMCU) that ensued\, the internecine battles that have been taking place among the different sections of COSATU trade union federation\, and the intense factional strife between the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA) and other sections of the trade union movement that has issued in NUMSA’s expulsion from COSATU. \nNUMSA has now initiated a call for what it terms a united front\, not only to build a new workers party to stand in national elections\, but also to forge links between the struggles of productive and reproductive struggles that would better connect organized labor with the “service delivery protests” of poor\, heavily immigrant workers. No less than the future of the South African workers movement and the nature the South African state are at stake.
