History Café: A Waterfront Without Wobblies

Despite the IWW’s (International Workers of the World) strength in Washington State in the early 20th century, waterfront laborers were not buying into their organizing goal of One Big Union. Hear from Conor Casey, head of the Labor Archives of Washington, possible reasons for why this integration didn’t occur during the heyday of labor radicalism.

History Café is produced as a partnership between HistoryLink and MOHAI.

ASL Interpretation and CART captioning are available during the program. In addition, a limited number of Assistive Listening Devices are available upon request. For more accessibility support, email [email protected] two weeks before the program.

Grab some food for thought–Gourmondo at MOHAI remains open until 7pm for every History Café.

If you can’t make it to the museum, tune in live on the MOHAI YouTube channel to virtually attend this event.
