In 2003, the labor and industrial relations community lost two giants. John Dunlop and Clark Kerr had much in common and were good friends. I first met John at Clark’s home in Berkeley, where I was a graduate student in the early 1950s. (In those days, labor and industrial relations classes commonly met in the professors’ homes.) I later worked with John as a postdoctoral Wertheim fellow at Harvard, and frequently interacted with both John and Clark over the years. Both men colleagues, especially former students. I, along with many others, benefited greatly from John’s support, counsel, and encouragement.
