DC 37 Education Benefits

District Council 37's Education Fund is now partnering with Cornell University's ILR and CUNY's Murphy Institute to offer a new Certificate in Public Sector Labor Relations. This new 16-credit undergraduate certificate offers a comprehensive overview of union side labor relations in the public sector. In particular, the certificate provides the practical skills training and knowledge necessary to be an effective advocate in the areas of collective bargaining, union administration, organizing and labor law. To earn a Certificate in Public Sector Labor Relations students must complete four 4-credit courses (or 16 credits), at least one in each of three major areas. Students can then select an elective course that is a more advanced exploration of one of the three required areas of study.

One class must be completed in each of the following area of study:

Term I: The History of Public Sector Workers in the United States (4 credits)
Term II: Unions and Labor Relations (4 credits)
Term III: Labor and Employment Law (4 credits)
Term IV: Public Sector Collective Bargaining (4 credits)

Classes are open to eligible members of DC 37 interested in learning more about the labor movement, labor relations and unionism. High school transcripts/records or proof of GED are required for admissions.

Classes are held weekday evenings from 6:00pm - 9:15pm. Each course meets once a week for 15 week semester.
Tuition and fees (excluding the one time $70.00 admission fee and books) are covered for eligible DC 37 members.

Term I and Term IV courses will be held at DC 37 Headquarters, 125 Barclay St.
Term II and Term III will be held at the Cornell Conference Center, 16 East 34th Street, 6th floor.
