What is the Summer School for Union
Women?
The
33rd UALE Northeast Regional Summer School for Union Women is a
five-day residential program sponsored by the United Association
for Labor Education (UALE), and the Coalition of Labor Union
Women (CLUW). The school brings together union women
rank-and-file members, staff and officers to strengthen their
knowledge of the American labor movement, understand its present
challenges and issues, and develop skills that will prepare them
to be more active union members and leaders. This year's school
will be hosted by the University of Connecticut, August 3-8
2008, and will be coordinated by Lee Clarke, District Council
37, AFSCME, Mark Sullivan and Ana Ketch, University of
Connecticut.
Our
Philosophy – Residential Schools for Union
Women
"Union leadership
is perhaps the only major profession in the United States for
which there is no established and generally recognized sequence
of professional training;” Dr. Lois Gray, Jean
McKelvey/Alice Grant, Professor of Labor Management Relations
Emeritus, of Cornell's School of Industrial and Labor
Relations.
“Residential
schools provide union activists and rank‑and‑file
leaders with a concentrated training experience that encourages
a better understanding of and more effective participation in
the labor movement and a willingness to assume increased
union responsibility.” Barbara M. Wertheimer.
