American Labor

[WoRFuzz]

I am working on American Labor and one of the requierments is to make a time line of historical labor movements from the 1770s. i dont have the merit badge book and i looked all over and cant find anything.
Anyone know of a bunch of labor movements?

Have you tried a good old fasioned Search on a search engine like google or blingo? I know you may have to weed thru to find a good link, but eventually you may find one.

When you get your book, it will help. Of course in the meantime, there is plenty of material in libraries, encyclopedias, and today the Internet.

But here's an interesting Scouting way to look into this subject. If you look at the awards that Scouters can be presented with, you'll see the George Meany Award. So look up George Meany, and see where all that takes you?

As a MB Counselor, I've said I would be available for this one, as I'm in the Fire Service and affiliated with one of these organizations. I've had no takers yet.

WorFuzz (and GVMV, too)... Welcome to the board.

First, use the Search Feature... We're pushing 20k posts here; so, making use of the Search Feature makes good sense.

Second (and, be advised, you'll hear this statement here quite frequently), "Buy or borrow the Merit Badge Phamplet!"

Third, try this... Google "american labor history", where you'll find this: Labor History Timeline

Does your troop or a neighboring troop have the MB book that you can borrow? If not a public libraries also have MB books.
