Patrick McHugh, George Washington University and Bonnie Castrey, Arbitrator Mediator LERA National Policy Forums are designed to connect theory and practice with policy issues in ways that have impact.
Hosted by George Washington University at the Cafritz Conference Center in Washington D.
The 2011 Forum theme signals what may be an end to over two decades of gridlock on a broad range of labor and employment policy issues and explores what may be new frontiers in labor and employment policy.
S Policy Forum will have a particular focus on policy issues around union organizing, pension and health care benefits, and other issues for which legislative debates are anticipated and where public policy can be informed by scholarly research and practitioner perspectives.
The Forum will also consider state and industry-level challenges in rebuilding the American Dream and surface deeper underlying assumptions about the workforce, unions, employers and other stakeholders.
