W&L Law Library is pleased to announce access to Labor and Employment: The American Worker on HeinOnline.
Launched in February 2023, this comprehensive database is dedicated to all the ways America works: the history of organized labor in the United States, its influence on labor law, and the many ways people work for a living
It contains thousands of books, documents, and articles about the American workplace, from the labor rights movement in the 19th century to the struggles of today. Topics include the establishment of a minimum wage and the 40-hour workweek, collective bargaining, contracts, workplace hazards and safeguards, as well as efforts to make the workplace equitable for all. New scholarly articles and content are added each month.
Labor and Employment: The American Worker and other HeinOnline content is accessible to all current W&L students, faculty, and staff, as well as all University alumni through the Friends of the Library program.
For more information about the new collection, see HeinOnline’s LibGuide or watch their brief video. Also feel free to reach out to a librarian at LawRef@wlu.edu for guidance or research assistance.
