From the ECC:
Recognizing the commonality of the struggle of workers for employee ownership, John attended the first Eastern Conference for Workplace Democracy at the University of Maryland in 2002, and attended most subsequent conferences. In 2009, John arranged for OEOC to co-host ECWD at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, in addition to participating in the plenary session and organizing several workshops. There he spoke about the history of unions and corporations, providing a rich historical perspective on worker history and many lessons about employee ownership for both cooperatives and ESOPs.
THANK YOU ECWD 2009!
Thank you to everyone that attended and supported
The 5th Biennial Conference: July 31 to August 2, 2009
Duquesne University * Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
