Acknowledgments
In 1989, I began photographing and interviewing blue collar workers in many New England industries. I believe that their voices must be heard and that their ideas are important to any discussion about the restructuring of industry and society so that work is both valued and paid for, and that those who make the things which we count on are valued and respected for their contributions. I am indebted to the many workers who took time to participate in this project. In addition, I would like to thank Bruce Laurie, John Cumbler, and Robert Weir for their essays. I would like to especially thank Bruce Wilcox and Clark Dougan at the University of Massachusetts Press for their continued support over the two years it took to complete this book. I am grateful to the museum directors with whom I have had the good fortune to work, including Betsy Siersma at the University Gallery at the University of Massachusetts, Hollister Sturgess at the Springfield Museum of Fine Arts, and Wendy Watson at the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum. Thanks to Patricia Greenfield and the staff of the University of Massachusetts Labor Relations and Research Center and Stuart Kaufman at the George Meany Memorial Archives. The Lowell Central Labor Council, the Pioneer Valley Central Labor Council, UAW Local 2322, the Massachusetts AFL-CIO and the National AFL-CIO made generous contributions. I want to thank the staff at the Lowell National Historical Park and the Massachusetts Heritage State Parks for displaying the exhibition in its early stages. Thanks to the Massachusetts Foundation for the Humanities for their initial project support plus the Holyoke Arts Council, a local agency, the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency, and the National Endowment for the Arts, and the
