UALE is happy to announce that our members, both individual and institutional, are now eligible to subscribe to New Labor Forum at a special reduced rate.
At our annual membership meeting, which took place during the conference in San Diego, UALE members voted in new leadership and approved a number of measures that will guide our work in upcoming months.
Elissa McBride, Director of Education and Leadership Training for AFSCME, heads up our new Executive Board, which also includes several other new faces.
Sue Schurman, Rutgers, won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the UALE Conference in San Diego this year, and Kent Wong, UCLA, won the award for Outstanding Contribution to the field of Labor Education.
Awards were also given for Best Book, Best Labor Studies Journal Article, and best paper from a student or first-time presenter.
The Executive Committee of theAmerican Association of University Professors has issued a statement strongly condemning the recent attacks against university labor centers by the right-wing Landmark Legal Foundation.
Bruce Kingery, UALE member and long-time labor educator at the UAW National Education Department, has come out with a new book of poetry aimed at a Labor Studies audience.
Real World Labor, Edited by UALE member Immanuel Ness, Amy Offner, Chris Sturr, and the Dollars & Sense Collective, examines important issues facing workers today, as well as new forms of resistance that are springing up around the world.
A new book outlining how unions can help their laid off members, protect those still working, and prevent the gutting of their hard-won contracts – and their very unions themselves – has been written by UALE member Bill Barry and published by Union Communication Services, Inc. (UCS).
(By the way, UALE receives a commission for every book that is bought through the "UCS labor books" link at the bottom left of this page. So buy it there, and help us all out!)
