Ferd Wulkan Papers

1965-2006
8 boxes (12 linear feet)
Call no.: MS 841
rotating decorative images from SCUA collections

A 1968 graduate in mathematics from MIT, Ferd Wulkan has been a fixture in activist circles for many years. A member of SDS in college and a rank-and-file clerical union leader at Boston University, Wulkan moved to Amherst in 1989. Passionate in the intersection of the labor movement with other progressive movements, specifically that of left-wing politics, he served for 15 years as a field representative with Locals 509 and 888 of SEIU, working with non-faculty professional personnel at UMass Amherst and Boston, and then as a representative and organizer for the Massachusetts Society of Professors from 2004 to 2016. In 2007, Wulkan became organizing director for the Public Higher Education Network of Massachusetts (PHENOM), a grassroots advocacy organization for affordable and accessible public higher education.



The Wulkan Collection consists of a fascinating array of material from Leftist and radical political movements during the late 1960s and early 1980s, with an emphasis on the Cambridge-Somerville area. In addition to a rich assemblage of formally published pamphlets and magazines, the collection includes a large number of fliers, handouts, informally published works, and underground newspapers on Socialist, Feminist, and anarchist topics, The Vietnam War, the labor movement, civil rights, and Black Power. The collection also contains three unprocessed boxes of material related to the clerical/technical union at Boston University. This union was affiliated with District 65, UAW, and District 65 had been part of the Distributive Workers of America, and affiliated with the United Auto Workers in the early 1980s.

Background on Ferd Wulkan

As an undergraduate in mathematics at MIT (SB, 1968), Ferd Wulkan was active in the Tiddlywinks Club and Students for a Democratic Society, the latter of which became a truer guide to his future course in life. A leftist, Wulkan chose to follow the path of many other members of the New Left of the 1960s, to become a committed workplace activist, hoping to spark a Socialist transformation in American society. He began his career as a labor organizer by taking a position as an orderly at Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, joining Transfusion, a Socialist healthcare worker's organization. Building a union at Mount Auburn, however, would not be an easy task. Transfusion imploded over disagreements about whether the intention of organizing was to build a union or seed a revolutionary movement, leaving just five members to continue as the aptly named Red Blood Cell. Although most members of Transfusion become part of the Party-building wing of the New Communist movement, members of Red Blood Cell founded the insistently non-sectarian, Organizing Committee for a Boston Area Socialist Organization. Never considering itself as leading the working class, and believing the time was not yet right for a new Communist party, OC/BASO organized as a "cadre" rather than "vanguard," and focused on discipline and organization, developing clear political positions based on rigorous study and analysis.

After six years at Mount Auburn, Wulkan sought more fertile ground at Boston University, taking a clerical position in the Economics Department in April 1979. There he was thrown immediately into a fraught struggle with the university's reactionary president, Jonathan Silber, to win recognition for clerical workers organizing under the radical District 65 of the United Auto Workers. Barely two weeks after he was hired, he found himself on strike, side by side with faculty and librarians, who were on their own campaign for union representation. After two and a half up and down weeks, the union won.

At BU, Wulkan experienced levels of both success and frustration. Although largely supported by the Economics Department, his labor activism frequently pitted him against the administration, as did his activism against apartheid in South Africa and U.S. intervention in Central America. A turning point of sorts for him case after District 65 succeeded in winning an agency shop at BU in 1985 and sought to expand by organizing clerical workers at several of Boston's private colleges. Outmaneuvered by management, they failed profoundly. At the same time, the long decline and ultimate dissolution of District 65 led the Boston University clerical staff to affiliate with UAW Local 2324, which proved to be more bureaucratic and unresponsive.

In 1989, Wulkan accepted a full time position at UMass Amherst as staff member and field representative for Local 509 (and later, Local 888) of the Service Employees International Union, serving non-faculty professional personnel at the university. From the outset, he found Amherst entirely unlike Boston, discovering a markedly less oppositional environment for organizing and a solid base of experienced organizers with whom to work. During his time in SEIU, he took part in campaigns against merit pay and to organize a graduate student union, but his greatest struggle came after SEIU reorganized its Massachusetts locals, creating a new local (888) for UMass, where Wulkan became the higher education coordinator. The president of Local 888 did not share the democratic style of the professional staff unit nor Wulkan's inclusive style of leadership, setting off a lengthy struggle. After trying to reconcile the differing approaches and fighting for the member-run vision, Wulkan resigned his position and set about organizing the rest of the local (primarily outside higher education) for a democratic process. After exploring the formation of an independent union, he negotiated with SEIU's national leadership and struck a deal whereby 2,300 members left SEIU in 2004 to join the Massachusetts Teachers Association (MTA), the union for faculty and librarians at UMass Amherst.

From 2004 to 2016, Wulkan worked for the Massachusetts Society of Professors (MSP) and as an organizing director for PHENOM, the Public Higher Education Network of Massachusetts (PHENOM), advocating for public higher education at the state level. Although he retired in 2016, he has remained true to his roots, staying active in PHENOM and other causes.
