Teaching Tolerance: American Workers at the Crossroads

From: Teaching Tolerance <TeachingTolerance@newsletter.tolerance.org>

American Workers at the Crossroads

The economy is in crisis. When powerful people gather to debate bailouts and bankruptcies, labor unions are the sole voice for the concerns of the individual worker.

Congress is preparing to debate the Employee Free Choice Act, which could shape organized labor - and your students' lives - for years to come.

Why Unions Matter (Lesson for Grades 10-12)

Cesar Chavez, Farmworkers & the Union (Lesson for Grades 7-12)

Economic Injustice Affects Us All (Lesson for Grades 7-12)

Making Sense of EFCA (Lesson for Grades 10-12)

United We Stand (Lesson for Grades 3-6)

These lessons can be used in conjunction with Viva La Causa, our FREE teaching kit on Cesar Chavez and the California farmworkers' strike.

All Teaching Tolerance resources support MCREL national standards. For this mini-unit, we have also included standards for the eight states that observe Cesar Chavez Day (March 31).
