ILRGL 4863
Public Policy and the Workplace

Course information provided by the 2026-2027 Catalog.

This course will expose students to a range of readings, speakers, and ideas aimed at understanding the complex interplay of the Congress, White House, regulatory agencies, interest groups, including grass roots organizations, and the impact of a sharply divided Congress and the looming Presidential and Congressional 2024 elections in shaping labor rights, workplace protections, and broader social policies. Through exchanges with speakers, independent research, and assigned readings, students will shape their own understanding of the different branches of government and those organizations seeking to influence policy on behalf of their constituents. Special attention will be given to state legislative actions on redistricting, abortion, and voting rights as a backdrop to the 2024 Campaigns.
