Welcome! The Center for Labor and Community Studies provides labor education and programming for workers in Southeast Michigan and beyond.

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.

Operating since 1957, our work on the Dearborn campus encompasses six annual worker conferences, as well as trainings, online symposiums, and networking opportunities.
