The Union Difference

There are many benefits to being in a union. In this video we’ll look at ways that being part of a union benefits workers – even if they don’t have a union! Want to learn more on how to start or maintain a union? Are you new to your union or bargaining and ready to learn the skills needed to succeed? To learn more, visit our website or join our School of Labor-Management relations.

Meet Our Faculty

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.
