Union Effectiveness: Still Hidden From History?, Stewart Sweeney, Ingrid Voorendt
Union Effectiveness: Still Hidden From History?, Stewart Sweeney, Ingrid Voorendt
Labour & Community - Sixth National Conference of the Australian Society for the Study of Labour History
This paper provides a brief overview and critique of aspects of the Australian trade union history literature focusing on the fifty or so books in and out of print. The paper highlights a concern that the existing literature is singularly limited in its assessment of trade union effectiveness in pursuing their objectives in relation to union organising, union democracy, union action and union gains, let alone the role of unions in economic and social transformation. In sum, it appears possible to read much of the literature and still be left with little or no idea of what contribution the union …
Labour Movements And Memories Of Spain, Chris Mcconville
Labour Movements And Memories Of Spain, Chris Mcconville
Labour & Community - Sixth National Conference of the Australian Society for the Study of Labour History
Peter O'Connor died in June this year. O'Connor had fought in the International Brigades in Spain, joined the IRA, and helped refound the Communist Party of Ireland. A requiem mass for the old communist was held in the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in Waterford.! Funerals for civil war volunteers like O'Connor occur from time to time around the globe. They are occasions to be remarked on as oddities in the local press [a communist funeral in a cathedral in Ireland!] and which, momentarily, draw together the remnant left of the inter-war labour movement. Such funerals apart, the Spanish Revolution …
The Reproduction Of Labour Power: The Work Of Midwives And 'Handywomen' In Rural New South Wales, 1850-1880, Glenda Strachan
The Reproduction Of Labour Power: The Work Of Midwives And 'Handywomen' In Rural New South Wales, 1850-1880, Glenda Strachan
Labour & Community - Sixth National Conference of the Australian Society for the Study of Labour History
The occupations of midwife, nurse and doctor have been codified in Australia and overseas in the twentieth century. The struggles for dominance of one occupation versus the other have been documented. I In twentieth century Australia midwifery has been subordinated to general nursing and medicine as midwifery training is undertaken once the general nurse training course leading to nurse registration has been accomplished. In addition, the twentieth century growth ofthe medical speciality of obstetrics and the fact that since the 1930s most births have occurred in hospitals, have subordinated midwifery to medical practice. These ideas and debates have shaped the …

Labour & Community - Sixth National Conference of the Australian Society for the Study of Labour History
Enid Singleton, from Belmore in Sydney's southern suburbs,joined the Marrickville Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD) in 1958. As was commonplace for young women of her generation, she had left school at fifteen and secured a good job at the Sydney County Council (SCC) as a cashier.

Female Industrial Organisation In The Nsw Public Service Association (Psa), 1899-1999, Ray Markey
Female Industrial Organisation In The Nsw Public Service Association (Psa), 1899-1999, Ray Markey
Labour & Community - Sixth National Conference of the Australian Society for the Study of Labour History
The Australian historical literature on women's work and industrial organisation has expanded considerably in the last twenty years. However, historical studies of office work, a major employer of women, are limited in scope, particularly in the public sector. Where public service women have been referred to, it is almost exclusively in the Commonwealth sphere. Historical accounts ofthe Australian equal pay movement have also tended to concentrate on the role of the Teachers' Federation and the Federated Clerks' Union, rather than of public service (non-teaching) industrial organisations. I Nevertheless, from an early stage the NSW public service was a major employer …

Labour And Community, Past And Future: Or Why Merrie (White, Male) England And Mateship Are Not Enough, Eileen Yeo
Labour & Community - Sixth National Conference of the Australian Society for the Study of Labour History
You would think New Labour had invented the word 'Community', so often do the B1airites use it. A new' Active Community Unit' is being established in Whitehall, to spearhead Blair's challenge 'for Britain to mark the millennium with an explosion of giving of acts of community that would touch people's lives'l. Key Labour politicians have attended seminars on communitarianism, a rather authoritarian moralistic voluntarism, developed by sociologist Amitrai Etzioni in the USA.

Paper Session Ii-D - Science Communication For The Life Sciences At Kennedy Space Center, T. W. Dreschel Ph.D.
Space Congress® Proceedings
In the Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was created and directed to: Provide for the widest practicable and appropriate dissemination of information concerning its activities and the results thereof. Horack and Treise (1998) define science communication as: the process through which a message of new knowledge or technology is delivered to a particular customer, in a way that adds value to the research itself, because knowledge has been shared with someone who wants or needs it for some use. Customers of science communications even include the traditional science information generator - the …

Marketing Alfalfa Hay: What The Consumer Demands, Tom Keene
Marketing Alfalfa Hay: What The Consumer Demands, Tom Keene
Kentucky Alfalfa and Stored Forage Conference
Anytime we address selling a product to the consumer; our first objective should always be to sell a quality product. However before we get into quality, I think we need to back up and understand that quality can vary from customer to customer depending upon the type of livestock he is feeding. For instance, if you are selling hay to a dairy operation, how is the hay being utilized? Is it being fed free choice? Is it going into a milking TMR (total mixed ration)? Is it going to feed young stock, breeding heifers, or sick animals? Each group of …
