The Labor Education Program offers a diverse array of education and training courses for working adults and union members. Educational programming is designed for both union and nonunion workers. Our teaching objective is to provide all workers with the knowledge and skills necessary to promote equitable workplaces, enforce employment rights, build effective democratic unions, develop future union leaders, ensure a safe and healthy work environment, and advance economic justice.
