Welcome to H-Labor, a member of H-Net Humanities & Social Sciences OnLine. H-labor is particularly interested in fostering international discussion and colaboration on labor history topics. It also recognizes that teaching the history of workers entails maintaining some knowledge of working people and their unions today.
Established in 1993, Left History is a peer-reviewed bi-annual scholarly journal run out of York University, with an editorial board of prominent left historians.

We are seeking a third person to deliver a paper on our panel focusing on issues, conditions, and problems in the workplace related to bathrooms and breaks, including but not limited to: the physical and emotional toll on workers when bathroom breaks are forbidden, constrained, or monitored; the use of bathrooms in the workplace as space for exchanging information, gossiping, organizing, and spying; and the ways that structural inequalities and assumptions about gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, and ability have shaped workers' access to and use of bathrooms.
