George Meany Center
www.georgemeany.org

The fundamental mission of the George Meany Center for Labor Studies is to serve the higher education needs and desires of working men and women and their union representatives. As GMC-NLC grows and develops to accommodate changing circumstances and provide greater opportunities, these two central goals remain consistent:

1. bring higher education to workers
2. prepare union representatives for the challenge of leadership in a global economy

AFT represents one million teachers, school support staff, healthcare professionals, higher education faculty and support staff and state and municipal employees across the country. The mission of the American Federation of Teachers, AFL-CIO, is to improve the lives of their members and their families; to give voice to their legitimate professional, economic and social aspirations; to strengthen the institutions in which we work; to improve the quality of the services we provide; to bring together all members to assist and support one another and to promote democracy, human rights and freedom in our union, in our nation and throughout the world.
