Lawrence Levy, associate vice president and executive dean of the National Center for Suburban Studies, talked to Newsday about successful bipartisan efforts to protect the World Trade Center Health Program from attempts by the White House to reduce the federal workforce. Levy explained to Newsday that advocates and New York lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have found success protecting the program from cuts this past year underscored “the power to get things done, not only when Republicans and Democrats come together, but through urban-suburban coalitions.” Levy also spoke to Newsday about New York State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli facing several primary opponents this year. Levy said that DiNapoli is seen as an establishment figure within the Democratic Party who is more cautious than the progressive wing would like. He also has deep ties to the state’s politically powerful unions. “In a close race, he’s going to count on them to get out the vote,” Levy said.

Mary Anne Trasciatti, Hofstra University’s director of the Labor Studies Program and professor of rhetoric, is referenced in an article on the website Counter Punch about how a dispute for fair wages and safer working conditions led to the 1914 massacre of 25 miners and family members in Ludlow, Colorado. The author, Robert Forrant, notes that he and Dr. Trasciatti co-edited “Where Are the Workers,” a collection of essays written by labor historians and archivists that explore nationwide efforts to bring the history of labor and working people into mainstream narratives of U.S. history. The Ludlow Massacre, he says, is one of the most dramatic and deadly of those stories.
