Labor and Employment Relations Association (LERA)
The LERA has launched our newest online forum, the "LERA Commons" Blogsite, "to bring together experts spanning theory, practice and policy with the aim of engaging dialogue and debate on all aspects of labor and employment relations."
"Sixty years ago (when LERA was known as the Industrial Relations Research Association), leaders in the field would each sit at tables during the reception at the annual meeting of the association. People would be able to sit down and raise question, engage in discussions and get to know these prominent individuals. Today, the LERA Commons makes this possible at any time during the year and from any location."
--Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld, Dean of the School of Labor and Employment Relations at the University of Illinois and LERA President-Elect.
