28th International Labor Process Conference-Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ
The International Labour Process Conference is one of the longest established and best known forums for analysis of all aspects of work and employment. In 2010, the ILPC moves out of Europe and to North America for the first time. During its 28 year history it has earned a reputation as a cornerstone of empirical research and cutting edge theoretical debate within the labour process and work organization tradition. It is hard to imagine contemporary radical research which is not influenced by labour process insights. Every year, the conference brings together academics and policy makers from the sociology of work and employment, business and management studies, human resource management, industrial relations, organizational analysis and a range of other disciplines to discuss and critically assess developments in the field. The conference will be held from March 15-17, 2010 at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ and organized by the Rutgers University School of Management and Labor Relations.Rate for the Conference: $425 Early Registration Rate (registered and paid by January 31, 2010), $500 Late Registration Rate (received after January 31, 2010), $250 Ph.D student rate.

JANUARY 6-9, 2011
63rd LERA Annual Meeting-Denver, CO
The theme for the 63rd Annual Meeting of the Labor and Employment Relations Association in January 2011 will be Employment Relations for Economic Recovery and Sustained Growth. The dimensions of the employment relations system encompass the wage setting practices in organizations across an array of industries; the role of unions, employee representation, collective bargaining and industrial relations; the availability and affordability of education, training and workforce development; the organization and management of work for quality performance and cost effectiveness; the access of employees to work and life policies and practices at the workplace; and the sufficiency of pensions and retirement income security. Government policies – health care, unemployment insurance, labor law and enforcement, immigration, minimum wage, paid family and medical leave, and paid sick days – also have direct effects on management practices, employment relations, and household income.
The LERA Program Committee welcomes proposals for stimulating, creative, and controversial panels and workshops related to this theme as well as other proposals that deal with topics of current interest and the mission of LERA. We encourage submissions from the perspectives of multiple disciplines – including but not limited to economics, sociology, political science, labor and employment law, industrial relations, and human resource studies – and the perspectives of multiple stakeholders, including investors, managers, workers and unions. The Committee will also consider practical workshops that will advance the skills of professionals or new topics that have not been well-represented in the past. The session proposal Deadline is January 24, 2010.More information
