We invite all union and non-union workers and activists from allied organizations to share ideas and grow skills for responding to the challenges facing working people.  We welcome participants from all genders and all cultural or ethnic backgrounds to all our events.

WHAT WE DO

CONFERENCES

CLCS offers six yearly conferences, most of which run from a Thursday through Saturday. Our conferences offer a variety of weekend-long workshops, keynote speakers, and opportunities for networking. Anyone and everyone is welcome to all our conferences. Our conferences are eligible for TAP.

SYMPOSIUMS

Symposiums are free, two-hour courses offered throughout the year on a wide variety of topics, including things beyond the realm of workers rights. They are offered via Zoom and they are also recorded and archived so you can learn even if you miss the event.

SHORT COURSES

Short courses meet once a week for six weeks, with each class 2-3 hours depending on your course. These courses are a great way to get in-depth knowledge on a specific topic. They're usually taught in-person or hybrid with a limited number of slots, so make sure to register. Short courses are eligible for TAP.

NEED US TO COME TO YOUR LOCAL?

CLCS is happy to provide in-office trainings on many topics. To schedule a training, please email clcs.info@umich.edu.
