Interview with Larry Kuehn

The interview covers Larry Kuehn's extensive involvement with labour and social justice organizations beyond his work with the BC Teachers' Federation (BCTF).

Kuehn discusses his work with Operation Solidarity and the Solidarity Coalition in the 1980s, including the People's Commission that examined alternatives to neoliberal policies. He also describes his roles with the Pacific Group for Policy Alternatives, the anti-apartheid movement, and the Canadian Teachers' Federation's support for the South African Democratic Teachers' Union (SACTU).

Kuehn played a key part in establishing the BCTF Online Museum and History Project (now archived) to preserve the organization's history. He has remained active with CoDev, a non-profit focused on solidarity between BC unions and Latin American unions, as well as the Heritage Committee of the BC Retired Teachers' Association, working to document the history of education in the province.

Throughout the interview, Kuehn highlights his lifelong commitment to progressive causes and the importance of preserving the history of the BCTF and education in British Columbia. His work has spanned decades, from labor activism to international solidarity efforts, all aimed at promoting social justice and progressive change.
