Labor Guild Courses Looking to learn more about the labor movement? A course at the Labor Guild is a great place to start. Current courses include “The Steward’s Job,” “Collective Bargaining,” and “Coalitions 2.0,” taught by Local 888 communications and policy director Rand Wilson. Coalitions 2.0 explores effective approaches to coalitions to support collective bargaining, recruiting new members and supporting the fight for a just economy.
