1913-2013: A Century of Solidarity
I (Gary) will be speaking at the upcoming Houghton County Democratic Party's annual dinner and awards banquet. Scott Dianda, a member of Michigan State Employees Association union and current Michigan State Representative, will be speaking along with former state senator Mike Prussi and Michigan Education Association director Terry Lajuenesse. I'm not always encouraged by party politics, but I voted for and strongly endorsed the "Union" candidate Scott Dianda, and am excited to meet him this Saturday.

Beginning July 23, 2012, the 99th year since the beginning of the 1913-14 Michigan Copper Strike, we are chronicling our efforts to write a Peoples' History-style book on the Michigan Copper Strike. We are writing a workers' history of the event, and hope this perspective engages readers with the complexity and struggle faced by Michigan copper workers and their families.
