Artist Joe Augusta, who is also a tube bender, shapes masklike faces like Elvis Machine in startling colors, and Los Angeles Artist Eric Zimmerman made a playful neon birthday cake...
...recent university labor gains. However, John W. Wilhelm, the chief union negotiator during the Yale strike, says recent worker activity is "just the tip of the iceberg." Union organizing by clerical workers, who are predominantly women, has its roots in the women's liberation movement beginning in the 1960s, says Wilhelm...
