The 2024 Reuther-Pollack Labor History Symposium VIII
The 8th annual Reuther-Pollack Labor History Symposium will be held on Saturday, August 31, 2024, in partnership with the WALS Foundation, the Ohio County Public Library, UAW International Union, the UAW Region 8, Ironworkers Local #549, and Ohio Valley Trades and Labor Assembly.
An annual symposium focused on regional labor history, the Reuther-Pollack Labor History Symposium is held on Labor Day Weekend near the birthday of Wheeling’s own Walter Reuther (Sept. 1, 1907), longtime UAW and CIO President and Civil Rights Activist. It is also named for Wheeling Hall of Famer Augustus Pollack, stogie maker — the only business owner to have a monument built in his honor by union members.
