Petition Launched to "Save the Labor College"
Wednesday, November 20, 2013(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
A
petition to save the National Labor College has generated support from
nearly 1,000 people less than a week after the College announced that it’s
closing its doors (National Labor College
Closing 11/14 UC). “The long-term
growth opportunity of the college rests in the administration's promising
development of the institution's online format that now makes courses
accessible to millions of workers throughout the world,” says the petition.
“Some courses could still be offered 'in person' via the use of our Central
Labor Council offices, local labor union offices and worker's
centers.”
