ONLINE FOR YOUR SAFETY
With the COVID-19 pandemic continuing, and recent infection numbers surging, UMSL Labor Studies Program Coordinator Doug Swanson said the program has been moved online to ensure the safety of participants.

“During these times of uncertainty we have decided to move the Labor Law Breakfast Series onto Zoom so that we can continue the important conversations that impact the Labor and management communities,” Swanson said. “We look forward to returning to in person meetings when it is safer to do so. Until then, work safe and stay safe.”

Swanson urged Labor and business representatives to register and participate to ensure the series can continue during these fiscally challenging times. “The information we are sharing is as important as ever,” he said.
