The Builders Laborers Federation was a union in Australia, representing those workers without a trade who did all the hard yards on the building site.Through their strong community links, they heard lots about the effects of inappropriate development on normal folks, and came up with the "Green Ban" as a response.They simply refused to work on projects that were socially or environmentally damaging. The effects of the Green Bans are still around today - the historic district of the rocks in Sydney is only there due to BLF action.The BLF was deregistered by the government of the day, and smashed.One of the things to come out of the rubble was the Earthworker Co-operative, which is designed to transef the ownership and control of work itself into the hands of the workers.We hope you enjoy this interview.

Dave Kerin - from BLF to Earthworker - 2018-10-19 BTL

Today’s guest is Dave Kerin, USATF development, men’s and women’s high jump chair.  Dave has been a contributor to Just Fly Sports in the past in the popular squat depth roundtable.  Dave has worked with athletes of many levels and has great results to his name, including a NCAA DIII championship record holder in the high jump.Dave has been a strong influence in my knowledge of high jump, particularly on what it takes to be good on an elite level, and what guys jumping over 2.40m are doing versus guys who are jumping less.  Aside from this, Dave has been a fantastic contributor to generally applicable sport science concepts, such as his work: What is the most direct means to achieve strength gains specific to the demands of jumping events.  Dave is a regular contributor to expert roundtables on the jumping events, and his knowledge of the biomechanics and training concepts for the track and field jumps can be useful for any coach.On today’s podcast, we’ll get into many aspects of track jumps and related training, and ideas that can be universally applied.Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more.View more podcast episodes at the podcast homepage.Key Points: 	Dave’s background in track and field 	Individualizing plyometrics to athletes 	Finding an athlete’s force/speed profile in the context of track jumps 	Hypertrophy guidelines for jump athletes 	Single leg jump takeoffs on the ball of the foot 	Flat foot vs. full foot contacts in plyometrics 	Predispositions for flop vs. straddle style high jumpers“A jump is something undertaken from a standing position.  The preponderance in athletic pursuits is not what I would call a jump, it is a deflection”“You have them throw 3 throws with the heaviest (8lb) implement, take the middle performance of the three efforts, then drop down to the 6lb ball, same thing, drop to the 4lb, same thing.   If a person is neurally wired, they should be able to accelerate the lighter implement”“I gotta think that a woman who is going to jump 2 meters in the high jump is going to throw an OHB  (overhead back throw) 15 meters”“I find a lot of commonalities of OHB and high jump”“There are a lot of high jumpers masquerading as long jumpers because they don’t add the third dimension”“In order to jump, you have to sacrifice horizontal velocity to redirect the path of the center of mass”“The greater force we deliver to the ground, the greater potential force we stand to gain on the back side of the vector”“The golden rule is to apply the greatest amount of force, in the greatest range of motion, over the shortest amount of time”“Kids aren’t as universally athletic as they were 20-30 years ago”About Dave KerinDave Kerin is the USATF chair of men’s development, and also chair for men’s and women’s high jump.  His time has coincided with a resurgence in the event.  Dave’s coaching career began with 14 years at the HS level followed by 14 years of collegiate coaching where an athlete set a still-standing NCAA DIII championship record in women’s high jump.   A requested speaker and published author, he is perhaps best known for his work: “What is the most direct means to achieve strength gains specific to the demands of jumping events”.  He also presented that topic at the 2008 USATF SuperClinic

Recorded on 27 November 2009, at Trades Hall, Melbourne for the "Reason in Revolt" project - a fantastic source for the unsung history of social change in Australia. find out about them at:http://www.reasoninrevolt.net.au/index.htmlReason in Revolt publish under a "Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 Australia License" to be found at:https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/au/A discussion with Dave Kerin and Gabriel Kuhn on syndicalism in Australia and Sweden. It mainly focuses on the experiences of the IWW (Industrial Workers of the World) in Australia but also makes some comparison with the case of the SAC (Central Organisation of the Workers of Sweden, an anarcho-syndicalist federation). Topics include: History of the IWW in Australia; experiences of the Builders Labourers Federation (BLF) with green bans (in the 1970s) and deregulation (in the 1980s); Union Solidarity - an organisation coordinated by Dave Kerin in the 2000s in Melbourne which mobilised unionists and community members to set up picket lines and other actions in support of aggrieved workers; aims, tactics and philosophy of the IWW; the principles of SAC; the relevance of syndicalism today and in the future for unionism and activism in anti-globalisation, global justice, and climate change movements; developing a worker-owned social sector; and the relationship of syndicalist unions to political parties.
