About the Labor Center

The Labor Center conducts educational programming for workers and their organizations. Since the Labor Center's founding in 1951, tens of thousands of Iowa workers and union members have participated in Labor Center classes on practical industrial relations, labor and employment law, occupational health and safety, labor history, communications and leadership, and economics and public policy. Today, as part of The University of Iowa College of Law, the Center annually reaches over 2,500 adult learners through a wide range of non-credit course offerings both on and off campus. The Labor Center also conducts applied research; engages in community partnerships, outreach events, and special projects related to labor issues; provides information on labor and workplace issues to faculty, students, and the public; and mentors students interested in careers in labor-related fields.
