Online exhibit, Rochester: A Community of Workers
December 30, 2007
On November 17 at the Labor Lyceum (NYSUT Hall, 30 North Union Street) moderator Jon Garlock of the Labor Council Education Committee introduced the new online exhibit, “Rochester: A Community of Workers.”
In the early 1990s Jon Garlock and Marilyn Anderson photographed and interviewed hundreds of union workers in nearly 40 different Rochester union worksites, documenting a wide range of union labor — industrial, construction, communications, transportation and public and service sector jobs — and creating the exhibit “Rochester: A Community of Workers.”
It was my privledge to design a version of this photo and text exhibit for the web, which can be viewed at: www.rochesterlabor.org/exhibit/
In addition to showing the online exhibit at the November 17 Lyceum, sector overviews were given by Tom Privitere (PEF), Dan Maloney (UAW 1097) and Ray Kuntz (Laborers 435). Each of them spoke about changes since the photographs were taken in the early 1990s and led discussion about about the future of work and unions in Rochester.
Seasons Greetings!

Thanks to Walter at adhub.com for his annual invitation to the adhub’s holiday greeting card promotion. Because the card promotion includes a web link from the individual company profile, participating was great motivation to update the DaysWork website, which has been dormant for way too long.
Also, a special thank you to the folks at RochesterLabor.org and Cornell ILR - Rochester for allowing us to be involved in some great projects during 2007.
Last, but not least, we’re pleased to have established a relationship with a new web hosting service, thesecretlabs.com. Nothing can beat having a local service provider!
