I am pleased to invite you to join a meeting, co-hosted by UMass Amherst Chancellor Kumble Subbaswamy, Frank Callahan, President of the Mass. Building Trades Council (and Labor Studies alum) and I, to consider ways that the UMass administration, labor, and key stake holders can partner to strengthen the Labor Center so that it continues to play a leading role in advancing the cause of organized labor and Massachusetts workers for many years to come.
The meeting will take place on Monday, October 17, 2-4pm at the UMass Amherst campus. In the coming weeks we will be sending out an agenda and a location confirmation. Please rsvp to Mass. AFL-CIO Chief of Staff Lisa Gallatin at lgallatin@massaflcio.org.
Below is a list of stakeholders I have invited; the Chancellor’s office will be extending invitations as well. While we want to keep the meeting small enough to be productive, if you feel we have left important stake holders off our list I would welcome hearing your thoughts.
