contents Labor Education Week: Bringing the Labor Movement to the Schools. Burton, Alice Curriculum Development Educational Planning Educational Resources Innovation Instructional Materials Library Materials Pilot Projects Secondary Education Social History Social Studies Unions Visual Aids A week of labor education classes is held yearly at Oakland Technical High School in Oakland, California. The goal of the program, called Labor Education Week (LEW), is to fill a perceived gap in high school education concerning the labor movement, and to present labor history and issues in workshops, field trips, classroom discussions, and films. One workshop helps students discover when their rights have been violated and how to file a complaint with the Labor Commissioner. Students talk with people in various fields during the Apprenticeship Career Day (when tradespeople answer questions concerning their field, schooling and training needs, pay and benefits). Some students have visited the Union Pacific Railroad and the United Parcel Service (UPS) and have talked with members of the Teamsters Union; others have visited other unionized businesses such as the Bay Area's Trunsbay Terminal; such field experiences allow them to see organized workplaces where they can apply the skills they have learned in school. The program objective is to expose students to the labor movement through distinctive, memorable activities. The document includes guidelines for developing a similar program in other schools. Included in the appendices are: (1) the LEW project proposal, including the budget; and (2) forms designed to solicit speakers, participants and sponsors, advertising fliers, and the master calendar of events for the programs. A resource guide containing a list of local speakers, a list of coordinators for 15 Northern California Building Trades Apprenticeship Programs, a current bibliography of books on labor, and a film guide is included.
