Labor and Employment Relations Association - Chicago Chapter

Advancing Workplace Relations

Originally founded in 1947 under the name Industrial Relations Research Association, the national Labor and Employment Relations Association (LERA) is an organization of professionals interested in industrial relations and human resources. LERA Chicago, one of 63 local chapters, is the only local organization that brings together professionals who work in all areas of labor management and employment relations. Our members come from business and labor organizations, legal and arbitration professions, and academic and government institutions.

For over 40 years, the Chicago Chapter has fulfilled its mission of providing opportunities for people interested in labor management relations to exchange ideas and discuss matters of common interest with outstanding people in the field. As a member, you will have the opportunity to widen your personal and professional contacts. The chapter does not take partisan positions on issues, but works in a collegial atmosphere to foster an ongoing dialogue among labor, management, and neutrals in the Chicago community.
