The Labor Movement has a long history of working alongside or against a wide variety of other social and political movements: from the anti-Fascist popular front to the Latin American solidarity campaigns of the 1970s and 1980s, from the women's movement to LGBTQ movement today, from anti-nukes to environmental movements, from human rights campaigns in the 1940s and 1950s to Idle No More today. The Alberta Labor History Institute (ALHI) conference of 18-21 June, 2014, wants to investigate this past, present and future of labor's interaction with other social movements.

12. August 2013, 19 Uhr: Buchvernissage: August Bebel – Kaiser der Arbeiter

August Bebel, der "Kaiser der Arbeiter", war die Führungsfigur der deutschen Arbeiterbewegung von Mitte der 1860er-Jahre bis zu seinem Tod am 13. August 1913. Sein Weg vom einfachen Drechslergesellen zum Politstar des deutschen Kaiserreichs stand paradigmatisch für den Aufstieg der Arbeiterbewegung.
