Wayne State University - Labor Wayne

Labor@Wayne is dedicated to supporting labor research and education and to providing union and community programs designed to promote and support effective labor relations and union representation. Labor@Wayne houses the Douglas A. Fraser Center for Workplace Issues, a program which fosters and recognizes faculty and student research through annual awards and public lectures. The Center for Labor Studies sponsors a range of conference workshops and events designed to bring labor, business, government and community leaders together. Labor@Wayne also provides labor education to address the problems of a postindustrial age and coordinate both graduate and undergraduate degrees in employment and labor relations. The Labor School offers a certificate program that provides union workers an introduction to labor history and economics, labor law, and applied skill courses. Located in the Reuther Library at Wayne State University, an archive originally built by the United Auto Workers, Labor@Wayne delves into the past of the labor movement, explores the present moment in its complexity, and works to prepare the next generation of scholars and workers for the future.
