Coe College faculty take off campus study on labor sites
Four Coe College faculty members spent January away from campus as part of a Ford Foundation Venture program. Dr. Moninger worked with the Alaska Railroad in Anchorage, Dr. Hay observed with Collins Radio in Cedar Rapids, and Dr. Veach documented six labor negotiations in five states while visiting management and union offices. The experiences broadened their views of labor, management, and rural reform, highlighting new concepts and personal growth.
