Biographical / Historical
The Labor Center started as a public service project of the Masters in Public Administration program in 1985. This program organized labor oriented movies, lectures and “labor center previews” throughout 1986 and 1987 until the Center received notice of state funding in May 1987. The Advisory Committee began at first for the 1987 Summer School for Union Women in June, 1987, which was organized as a “labor center preview.” After the notice of state funding this summer school advisory committee was organized and expanded into the Labor Center Advisory Committee.
