Amid the 1,200 or so men studying management at the Business School there will be a delegation of Union executives as of February 28.
The labor leaders will be participating in a thirteen week course to train union officers for executive responsibility.
The men, or women, who come to the course, called the Trade Union Program, must be selected by the union which sends them.
No specific academic requirements exist for the program. Some of the students haven't even completed grade school; a few have college degrees.
The program started in 1942 at the suggestion of several labor leaders and after consultation with labor leaders around the country.
Topics of study include: History of the American Labor Movement, Problems in Labor Relations, Economic Analysis, Trade Union Problems in a Mobilized Economy, the Union Representative and Government Agencies, Arbitration. Pension Plans, Job Evaluation and Wage Incentives, Negotiation and Administration of Agreements, and Collective Bargaining.
