Rebuilding America in a Global Context

Abstract

I am pleased to be in New Orleans for the sixtieth anniversary of the Labor and Employment Relations Association. This is the culmination of an incredible year for me, serving as your president, and one that ends on a very high note. I have had the privilege of traveling throughout the United States, speaking to members of LERA chapters and meeting with labor, management, government, neutrals, and academics. I am pleased that we are assisting in the economic development of New Orleans by staying here and contributing to the local economy. I have bought two t-shirts to support the New Orleans Public Library as well.
