The School’s most valued asset is our dedicated faculty, which spans the full range of labor-relations practitioners: arbitrators, attorneys, full-time union officers and educational directors, labor organizers, corporate employee relations managers, expert consultants, academics, state and federal mediators, state and federal regulatory agency staff, and more.
The generosity of our volunteer faculty allows the School to keep tuition affordable for working people.
