One of the primary factors underlying the formation of the Labor and Employment Relations Association (LERA) is the belief that all of the social sciences could make important contributions to the understand ing of problems in the field of industrial relations. These volumes of papers testify to the validity of this belief. The papers represent the thinking and study of people trained in labor relations, human relations, economics, law, political science, psychology, and sociology. They are suggestive of the many ways in which the interchange of concepts and tools between the different disciplines can add to the knowledge of industrial relations.
Proceedings
Initially, the publications from 2003 to the present appear as individual articles. This allows for more concentrated search results. Over time, all the the issues back to 1947 will be divided into separate articles. For now, these appear as full editions.
Please use the PDF search within your brower's viewer after opening these more complete resources.
Perspectives on Work
Perspectives on Work brings various workplace viewpoints into one place. Think of this as the "Cliff's Notes" for the large issues effecting LER. We may not agree on answers, we can facilitate civil discourse on how big trends impact everyone in very different ways.
LER-Law e-newsletter
Staying informed about labor and employment law challenges most professionals. Building on the strong history of informative newsletters from Ellen Dannin and the work of the Labor and Employment Law Interest Section, Editor Ann Hodges, University of Richmond, and Co-editors Ian A. Spreat and Dillon Taylor, University of Richmond, bring important news and trends to labor law. Using original articles and links to a variety of points of views, Ellen, Ann, Dillon, and Ian identify the issues you need for your work, study, and research.
Research Volumes
Scholars and practitioners contribute to the annual Research Volume to produce a prestigious collection of essays and articles for members of the labor and employment relations fields. Members may view and search all back issues of the Research Volume (1954 onward) online, or you may order print versions of the Research Volume through our partner Cornell University Press.
