Labor Notes

Labor Notes is a trade magazine that supports collective bargaining in the United States. It is part of the Labor Education and Research Project, an American non-profit organization and network for rank-and-file union members and grassroots labor activists.

The magazine reports news and analysis about labor activity and issues facing the labor movement. It promotes a revitalization of the labor movement through social movement unionism and union democracy. Labor Notes is based in Detroit, Michigan, with an East Coast office in Brooklyn, New York. It grew from a strategy by labor activists who sought to build grassroots connections across unions and industries. It works to bridge the gap between isolated rank-and-file caucuses and reform groups. The most notable example is Teamsters for a Democratic Union. Its coverage includes major unions such as the Teamsters, the Steelworkers, the United Auto Workers, the Communications Workers of America, and the American Federation of Teachers.
