The Detroit Chapter of LERA has held several events in this program year, including an evening program last fall on wage suppression, featuring Larry Mishel of EPI. They have also conducted three breakfast meetings on topics such as Michigan’s new minimum wage and paid sick leave policies, the future of worker, and the role of labor relations in peacemaking. Detroit LERA held a major evening event in June featuring a major public figure, Congresswoman Dingell, as the keynote speaker. In addition, the chapter has created a process improvement team to improve their interface with current and prospective members.
