The National Labor College (NLC) is the nation’s only accredited higher education institution devoted exclusively to educating union leaders, members and activists. With a forty year history in providing education and training to working people and union members, the NLC is proud to make its contribution to the ongoing debate over the future of the planet.
In cooperation with the AFL-CIO’s Center for Green Jobs, the NLC is launching two distinctive programs in the field of green jobs and sustainability: the Green Workplace Representative Certificate Program (see related article in this issue) and the Green Labor Journal.
The labor movement has gone green – and one of the major goals of Green Labor Journal is to showcase these union green initiatives in an accessible (and sustainable!) format, and to provide up-to-date information from a labor perspective on new developments in green policy, technology and work processes.
Each month, the Journal will cover the following topics: Feature Article on green jobs and the new green economy; Cleantech Tracker; Affiliate Actions; NLC Green Education and Training; AFL-CIO Center for Green Jobs; Green For All (starting with the December issue) and a “Did You Know?” section on important events and news items.
The Journal is edited by Jerry Brown, Ph.D., Founding Professor of Global and Sociocultural Studies at Florida International University in Miami.
The members of the Editorial Board are: Jerry Brown, Ph.D.; Tom Kriger, Ph.D., Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost of the National Labor College; and Jeff Rickert, Director, AFL-CIO Center for Green Jobs.
