SUMMARY:Introduction to the American Labor Movement
CREATED:20090827T150000Z
DESCRIPTION:The Basic Certificate in Labor Studies- classes lay the found
 ation for educated union participation and future leadership. The Basic 
 Sequence has four classes that meet six times\, once a week. These are d
 esigned as an introduction to the labor movement and can be followed by 
 a more intensive advanced sequence that builds on the basic sequence. Th
 ey are for current union leaders\, new members\, activists\, union staff
 \, people who want to meet people from other unions\, and working people
  who want to learn about the labor movement. Because the kind of knowled
 ge necessary for effective union membership and leadership is broad rath
 er than narrow\, we encourage people to take all four classes in each se
 quence.Enrollment in the advanced sequence is for graduates of the basic
  sequence or by permission of the instructor. Students who complete the 
 sequence of four classes will receive a Basic Certificate in Labor Studi
 es from the University of Illinois Labor Education Program.Introduction
