The United Association for Labor Education (UALE) invites labor educators, community organizers, organizers based in worker centers, and others committed to worker education to unite together in Los Angeles for a conference dedicated to educating, empowering, and organizing the new working class. UALE seeks proposals on how labor education can contribute to a new labor movement which empowers the new working class. Specifically, we invite proposals which demonstrate how modern labor education can help working people assert their fundamental right to organize proudly, bargain collectively, and work safely in a neoliberal climate which relies on systematic inequality. See the Full Call for Proposals on the Conference 2014 page

UALE welcomes the involvement of students interested in the critical role that unions and related organizations play in improving the lives of working people. And we seek to encourage students to consider the field of labor education as a possible career. We especially invite student papers that address some aspect of the conference theme. At the same time, we are receptive to contributions that consider other issues relevant to unions, workers, and labor education.

Also, Labor Studies Journal has issued a call for papers for a special issue of the Journal in conjunction with the 2014 UALE conference.

THE LSJ Call for Papers, the Call for Student Papers, the Conference Brochure, and other information on our 2014 Conference, "Organizing for Power", can all be found on the Conference 2014 page
