The Massachusetts Worker Education Roundtable is a network of union and
labor-management education and training programs throughout the state.
They offer 
workshops and training for teachers on working in a labor-management
environment, which includes learning about the interests of both
management and labor, conducting a workplace needs analysis, developing
curriculum relevant to all in the workplace, and dealing with
challenging issues that come up in the classroom, the planning committee
and the workplace. They have developed a Workplace Educators' Training
Curriculum Manual which should be ready for distribution later this
year. Feel free to contact Connie Nelson with questions or if you're
interested in ordering a copy of this curriculum.

With grocery workers and transit workers on strike in L.A. and grocers 
locking out employers they consider potential strikers, maybe this is a
good 
time to look at how professional development deals with labor questions,

especially in the era of the corporate sponsorship or partnership.

Do professional developers help teachers learn how to deal with labor
issues 
and workers' rights as part of workforce development, employability, or
any 
other classroom topic? If so, how? If not, why not?

Thanks,
Eileen
