3 cr hrs. Class number 11934 First Summer. This introductory course
examines the many facets of Labor Studies.  We will learn how unions
function and the contributions they have made to the American
landscape.  The course will provide an overview of the U.S. labor
movement’s triumphs and tragedies throughout history, as well as the
struggles working people face today.  Finally, we will examine a
contemporary labor struggle as a vehicle to explore changing labor-
management relations, the U.S. government’s role, and internal
struggles within the labor movement itself.  Instructor:  C.J.
