The Labor Education Action Research Network is the continuing education unit of LSER. The State of established the Institute for Management and Labor Relations in 1947 to provide extension services that would both help to foster labor-management cooperation in workplaces and educate labor-management representatives and the general public about the advantages of such cooperation as well as the means to achieve it. As SMLR has grown and expanded its mission, adding degree programs, research centers, and special programs, LEARN remains a central component of our mission. LEARN works with the Center for Innovation in Worker Organization (CIWO) to fulfill this mission and improve the lives of working people and beyond. LEARN sponsors public programs and activities that strengthen the community at work, facilitate workplace democracy, and address inequalities of power and wealth in the wider society.
