Perspectives on Work
Begun in 1997 as part of the Association's 50th Anniversary, Perspectives on Work magazine was created to look at the critical issues confronting workers and employers now and in the future. Founding editors included Thomas A. Kochan, Peter Cappelli, Walter J. Gershenfeld, Marlene Heyser, Magdalena Jacobsen and Hoyt Wheeler. In 2003, Charles J. Whalen was named editor and an Editorial Advisory Board of scholars and practitioners in the field of labor and employment relations was created. In 2009, Susan Cass assumed the editorship. Perspectives is published twice each year (June and December).
