He reflects on his own experience in the paper mill with worker banquets, provides examples of worker humor and getting over on the boss, the UAW's "White Shirt Day" commemorating the Flint sit-down strike, and art created by workers in their workplaces with scrap, waste and appropriated parts. Beck concludes by reading Greg Shotwell's poem, "The world is in their care". A question and answer concludes the session.

- Description:
- Robert Repas, professor emeritus of the Michigan State University School of Labor and Industrial Relations, discusses labor education in Michigan and in particular, his own experiences from 1950 through 1960 working at the UAW's FDR-CIO Summer Camp in Port Huron. He says that the UAW camp's main purpose was to build skills and to train workers to help bring change in society and increase employment benefits. Repas says that the establishment of worker education programs in Michigan was led by MSU President John Hannah who was motivated by a desire to "one up" the University of Michigan and curry favor with the labor unions who had significant influence in Lansing. He describes the early days of the Labor and Industrial Relations Center at MSU, the people who ran it, and programs it conducted around the state. He also explains his perspective on how labor schools should function and the relationship they should have with unions and businesses. Repas is interviewed by John Revitte, MSU professor of Labor and Industrial Relations.
