Welcome to the latest edition of the Pacific Northwest Labor History Quarterly (formerly the Oregon Labor History Quarterly). This issue is packed with news and ideas from all of PNLHA’s territory. The expanded coverage area opens up new space for historians and commentators on labor history. PNLHA president Tom Lux is acting as editor with assistance from Ron Verzuh, but we are looking for someone to take the reins. If you’re interested and have some writing and editing experience, email Tom at pnlha2@gmail.com.
