Introduction
The Work and Labour Policy program is designed for graduate students employed by unions, business, government and schools, and people active in labour and politics. While the program provides you with a background in American labor relations, labuor history, labor law and collective bargaining, the focus is on current problems and policies generated by changes in the global economy, technology, the workforce and the workplace. This program can increase your effectiveness in your present position or prepare you for new positions that deal in labour, government, industrial relations or human resources.
You are encouraged to use your elective courses and a final project to develop an area of specialty. Faculty will help you design your own elective courses, as well as a final project focused on a policy memorandum.
