Labor Research & Action Network:

Labor Scholars and Campaigners Helping to Build Worker Power

The Labor Research and Action Network (LRAN) is an exciting collaboration connecting academics and labor practitioners to help build workplace and economic power for working people in this country. We believe that these strengthened relationships between researchers and labor organizers will enhance the quality of our respective areas of work, enrich our separate and shared experiences, and elevate our impact on the world.
