  • To bring labor educators together for mutual aid and benefit, to promote their professional development, and to advance their economic and social well-being.
  • To advocate for the development and support of labor education programs in higher education and the labor movement.
  • To promote professional standards for the field of labor education and labor studies.
  • To promote and publish relevant research.
  • To promote and facilitate cooperation among unions, union education departments, university and college-based labor centers and programs, and community-based labor education programs.
