Dear Colleague,
We invite you to participate in a day long event to consider research on union organizing, including employer, employee and union strategies, conduct and practices as well as how the law and its administration affects workersí rights to organize.
The meeting will take place in Washington D.C. on June 6, 2001, at the Economic Policy Institute which is hosting the event with the University of Maryland School of Public Affairs and the Institute for Womenís Policy Research.
The goals of the meeting are to generate lively and informal discussion about current, planned and needed research on the subject of union organizing and related issues, and to form an ongoing and expanding network of scholars who share a commitment to and research interest in this field. The purpose of the meeting is to encourage and promote such research as well as provide the opportunity for people interested in the subject to share thoughts about current and future projects.
If you are interested in attending this meeting or have questions, please contact Larry Mishel of the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) at lmishel at epinet.org or Fred Feinstein at the University of Maryland, School of Public Affairs at ff31 at umail.umd.edu by May 10th. Please indicate the relevant research on which you are working or which you intend to pursue. Once we hear from you we will respond with further details about the meeting.
We hope you will consider participating in what we believe will be an interesting and important gathering. Thank you.
