The Sycamore History Museum will hold a program entitled “The Meaning of Work” this Wednesday, July 11th at 7pm. Dr. Monica Bielski-Boris from the University of Illinois School of Labor and Employment Relations will speak about the changes confronting workers since the industrial revolution that lead to the growth of manufacturing in places like Sycamore. The meaning of work will be discussed as it relates to how workers now deal with the move away from manufacturing to service sector work; a global economy with international competition; and an increasingly diversifying workplace in terms of race, gender, age, etc..
The event is free and open to the public and will be held at the Sycamore History Museum, 1730 N. Main St. in Sycamore. This program is made possible in part by a grant from the Illinois Humanities Council, National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Illinois General Assembly.
