Labor Studies 693A - S-Issues&Debates/LaborStudies

This course is an introduction to the labor movement in the United States. It begins by exploring the recent history of labor and the rapidly changing circumstances that unions now find themselves in. We then move on to explore the current issues and debates in the emerging practices of labor in the U. S. The course has a dual focus, both analyzing the practice of unions, as well as providing a survey of the literature about the labor movement.

Open to Seniors and Graduate students only.
