From

a group of 25 trade unionists, primarily young staff and rank-and-file leaders met in Morgantown, West Virginia, on October
12th [1969] and...constituted themselves as a Labor Workshop; decided to circulate a private discussion bulletin --
New Directions in Labor -- to crystallize our thinking about labor's problems and possibilities..."
