Opportunities: Each of the ten strikes will have its annual anniversary--the release year will be the 100th anniversary of the 1917 IWW-affiliated strike amongst the loggers in the Northwest, about which Erik is the leading scholar; and the 80th anniversary of the famous Flint Sit-Down strike. New Press labor track record: From the Folks Who Brought You the Weekend sold 18,000 copies combined; Lexicon sold 14,000 copies combined. Media track record: Out of Sight was featured in Salon, Truthout, In These Times, The Fiscal Times, and on radio. Platform: Loomis blogs at the hugely popular site Lawyers, Guns, and Money, with 550,000 unique visitors for over one million page views a month, where his ongoing series This Day in Labor (the basis for book) won the 2011 Cliopatria Award from the History News Network. Credentials: Loomis is a leading young scholar and public intellectual covering labor Serialization potential: Each chapter will stand alone and can be published as a this day in history format, for which Loomis is well known. Material: Wonderfully accessible introductory format; there are no other obvious introductory texts in labor history
