About the Center
The Center for Labor and Employment Law was created in 1996 to establish a nonpartisan forum for debate and study of the policy and legal issues involving the employment relationship. The Center has four major objectives:
-
To promote workplace efficiency and productivity, while at the same time recognizing the need for justice and safety in the workplace and respecting the dignity of work and employees
-
To promote independent, nonpartisan research that would improve understanding of employment issues generally, with particular emphasis on the connections between human resources decisions and organizational performance
-
To sponsor a graduate program for the next generation of law teachers and leading practitioners in the field
-
To provide a forum for bringing together leaders from unions, employees and companies, as well as representatives of plaintiff and defense perspectives, for informal discussions exploring new frameworks for labor-management relations, workplace justice, fair and efficient resolution of employment disputes and representation in the workplace
