Centre for Labour and Trade Union Studies
The Centre for Labour and
Trade Union Studies was established in 1989 by the University in
conjunction with the New Zealand Council of Trade Unions (CTU) and
the Trade Union Education Authority (TUEA), which has since been
abolished.
The Centre is based in the Department
of Societies and Cultures. In addition to normal academic teaching
and research, the Centre’s staff also provides specific services
to trade unions and the wider community. The Centre’s general goals
are
- to develop Labour Studies as an interdisciplinary
academic subject which examines its material from a labour perspective
- to foster within the University a
climate and academic opportunities and services, both teaching and
research, that recognise the distinctive character and needs of
working class people and trade unions
- to work in partnership with the New
Zealand Council of Trade Unions (CTU)
- to carry out research on behalf of
trade unions and other bodies and organisations with objectives
that are compatible with the Centre’s functions and orientations.
