Michael,

I have a friend who is field director for SEIU who you might talk to -- his
name is Bill Fletcher and he's a leftist, African American, labor activist
with a long history of organizing in communities of color.  I seem to have
misplaced his current phone number, but if you call 202 898-3480, you'll

[PEN-L:1955] apology and request

1995-12-14 Thread Teresa Amott

Sorry for sending personal e-mail to the whole list.  Too quick with the
reply button.

While I'm here, however, I'd like to ask the academics on the list to let
me know 1) if their institutions use merit or performance-based pay
increments for tenured faculty, 2) roughly the size of those increments, 3)
the evaluation process that determines the size of the increment, and, most
important, 4) if there are any universities using a model of merit pay that
is more of a faculty development tool than a reward for good behavior or a
slap on the wrist for "shirking."  I'm trying to develop an alternative to
our merit pay system  here at Bucknell and would like to know if any other
schools are trying alternative models.   Please reply privately (she said
after sending her own personal message to a thousand people).  Thanks.

At the risk of the screams that will ensue, tonight there is news of an
extremely important development in the US labor movement. I believe it will
be announced tomorrow (7/27/95) in the mass media. The USWA (Steelworkers),
the IAM (machinists) and the UAW (auto) will announce merger - it is unclear
but it sounds as if the UMWA (miners) are also committed to the merger in
the near future.

I believe this will create one of the largest metal workers union in the
world. It will certainly be the largest union in the US. Along with the news
comes some low key rumors that the trend will continue in other industries
(dare I say it, including public workers). BTW all the garment and textile
workers are now in one union (UNITE). The - on again, off again - merger
talks between AFT and NEA (teachers) are on again and making progress. There
are other unions also moving in this direction but not yet publically.

This monday there will be a huge rally for the Sweeny reform slate in the
AFL-CIO in Chicago and on Tuesday, Lane Kirkland will offically be removed
(he calls it retiring - 'but the pressures the thing wherein we've changed
the conscience of the king'). Important new orgainizing strategies are being
developed for reorganizing the old and new mass production industries. It
won't be a simple reenactment of the CIO days, but something at a higher
level is in birth, me 'earties. Strap on those running shoes and organizers
head gear the battle is being joined. ...'for the wheels just in spin and
there's no telling who that's it naming. But the losers now will be later to
win, for the times they are a changing.' It's going to be time for Marxists
and radicals in the US to put up or shut up. Doesn't it just make the cynics
want to puke.

Ah well... so much for those tired old worn out class struggle
concepts.. shit maybe Marx and Lenin were right after all...deadpan.
Besides this is all pretty tame stuff with no big reference work or experts
to refer tocan't be happening...grin. Give it time, not right away,
but this thing just might even rock some in academiapraise the laptops.

[PEN-L:3855] Re: child care the market

1995-01-19 Thread Teresa Amott

I think that pen-ler's may be interested in a little discussion
I had with Teresa Amott (and I hope I'm not violating your
privacy, Teresa!)

In response to her comment on how good the US military's child-care
system is these days, I said: it gives one an incentive to join
the armed forces!

To which she said:
The way things are going, it may be the only full-time job with benefits
left

Seriously, isn't it weird that the military has decent child care?  I'm
connected with a bunch of socialist feminist child care types -- people who
organize child care workers, etc. -- and we're all still a bit baffled.  I
mean, it's obvious that a volunteer army that relies on a largely poor
younger workforce might need to tailor its benefits to attract higher
"quality" recruits, but one would think that the military ideology would
not exactly be suited to providing decent child care.


I (Jim, that is) agree. It's eerily reminiscent of how the military
sector of the old Soviet economy was one of the few efficient
sectors.  I guess military goals conquer all.

I've had experience with two types of childcare, both private.
One, a church-organized place partly subsidized by my university,
was okay, but is currently being milked for cash by the congregation.
The other, a parent-organized school that once "belonged" to a
synagogue, follows the private-school tradition of cream-
skimming. In short, they expelled my 4 1/2 year old son because he
was a "discipline problem" (chip off the old block?) We'll see
how the public schools deals with this.

in pen-l solidarity,

[PEN-L:3830] Re: child care the market

1995-01-18 Thread Teresa Amott

As we know, the state does a pretty decent job providing health care --
socialized medicine -- to the military.  The Military Child Care Program is
also quite good.  After some widely publicized scandals, the military got
their act together in training, certifying, and paying child care workers,
so staff at military child care centers are now paid substantially more
than civilian child care workers.  Their starting point is that salaries
should be competitive with the overall local labor pool rather than with
the child care labor pool.Directors of military large child care centers
earn between $29 and $37 thousand (up to $54 for large centers), while
entry level aides earn between $14 and $20 thousand.   In addition, staff
all receive the full array of benefits -- health and life insurance,
pensions, workmen's comp, etc.  There is a job ladder with training
opportunities, and each center has a training and curriculum specialist.

At the same time, costs to parents are pretty low -- sliding scale,
averaging $60/week.  The key point is that the military makes up the
difference between what parents can afford to pay and what you need to pay
to have qualified staff providing child care.

Could somebody from California give us a sense of the real impact of the

Re: Atlas plugged

1994-11-08 Thread Teresa Amott

Every day I am deluged with ads for Obsession perfume anorexic model),
Lysol antibacterial soap (phony germs), and Guess jeans (half-naked women,
fully clothed men).  Frankly, it is a delight to see an ad for a book I
actually want to read, by one of my favorite Pen-Lers, that has real use
value (but apparently no exchange value, since Doug didn't give us the
price).  I vote for more book ads by Pen-L authors.  (In the interests of
full disclosure, I must admit that I am one of those authors.)

On another note, how are Pen-Lers coping with depression and anger today,
as we exercise our freedom to vote for the marginally lesser evil? The
thought of Jesse Helms as chair of the Senate Foreign Relations committee
is so nauseating that I'm having trouble thinking of anything else.  Here
in Pennsylvania, we are about to give you Rick Santorum in the Senate,
someone who combines the worst characteristics of Gingrich, Huffington,
Helms, and Thurmond.   Cheers.

AFDC and business interests

1994-09-01 Thread Teresa Amott

If people want to pursue the history of business opposition to AFDC, one
place to start is Winifred Bell's classic  book on AFDC (entitled _Aid to
Dependent Children_).  A superb essay on SSI and the Southern states that
makes similar points is Jill Quadagno in Weir, Orloff and Skocpol, _The
Politics of Social Policy in the United States_ (very good book).  See also
the other essays in that book.

My sense is that the Southern opposition was tied up intricately with
subordination of the black labor pool in the South -- not surprisingly, you
need to look at  race and gender along with class to understand Southern
opposition to a federal AFDC benefit.

There are several essays in _Women, the State and Welfare_, edited by Linda
Gordon, that might be useful.  I have one essay in there entitled "Black
Women and AFDC:  Making Entitlement Out of Necessity" that reviews some of
that history.

Finally, see any of James Patterson's books  (_America's Struggle against
Poverty, 1900-1985_; _Congressional Conservatism and the New Deal_; _The
New Deal and the States: Federalism in Transition_).  The first one has a
terrific anecdote (I think) about some bubba congressman wondering who was
going to iron his shirts if there was a federal minimum benefit.

1994-07-14 Thread Teresa Amott

I haven't received a message from Pen-L from some time.  Is the
problem local?  Global?  I've had some communication with others (in New
York and in Australia) who have also not received messages for a week.

Query on Fund for Public Policy Research

1994-02-25 Thread Teresa Amott

A student of mine is interviewing for a job at a nonprofit group in
Philadelphia called the Fund for Public Policy Research, which she thinks
is an offshoot of PIRG.  Does anyone know anything about the group and its
activities?  Please let me know.  Thanks.
