Information and Educational Resources for Teachers and Students

The goal of the ALSC is not to indoctrinate or proselytize, but provide students with an opportunity to explore the many facets of a very complex and important part of out nation's history and contemporary life. Teachers are encouraged to use a variety of research and inquiry approaches as they select their pedagogical strategies.

The American Labor Studies Center (ALSC) is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to create, collect and disseminate labor history and labor studies curriculum materials and resources to K-12 teachers nationwide through this web site and via conferences, workshops, seminars and exhibits.

The history of the labor movement needs to be taught in every school in this land... America is a living testimonial to what free man and women organized in free democratic trade unions can do to make a better life...We ought to be proud of it.
