Lessons in Labor History

No. 2200, 2001, 94 pp., $30

The history of the American labor union is the history of America. It is the study of the enormous social and economic forces that swept our great land in the last three centuries.

The collection of study suggestions, background material, performance tasks, and lesson plans included in Lessons in Labor History is offered to you as a guide for incorporating the rich history of the American worker into what you already do in the classroom. Use of these materials will lead to an expanded labor history knowledge base and a greater appreciation of the role or organized labor in this country's growth.

Since most students move from school to the work environment at some point in their lives, it is our hope that this material will help them learn critical lessons about the unions' contributions to society.
