“Work in America” Dialogue
Fundamental changes have been “on the table” in nearly every aspect of labor and employment relations, many with major policy implications. In order to help give voice to workers, managers, union leaders, policy-makers, neutrals, scholars, and others. The Labor and Employment Relations Association (LERA), in cooperation with the Bureau of National Affairs (BNA), is sponsoring a year of dialogue on the future of work Members can access information and the opportunity to dialog at LERA Commons at the LERAblog.org
We anticipate that this site will be used by a wide variety of LERA members, BNA readers, and others to post blogs and background articles/statements on a wide variety of policy issues. Each posting will represent the work and/or views of its author. LERA does not take positions on public policy issues; instead, it provides a forum for analysis, discussion, and debate of all points of view on policy matters.
One of the first major policy issues to be debated involves whether and if so how to reform the nation’s labor law. The first entry suggests the need to tone down the extreme rhetoric over the law and for leaders in the field to come together and ask how labor management relations can better contribute to the nation’s economic recovery.
