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.”
