Founded in 1942 in San Francisco as the Tom Mooney Labor School, changing its name in 1944. David Jenkins was the initial
director and Holland Roberts the first education director for this "people's school;" sponsored by 72 trade unions belonging
to the then separate American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations, offered courses on a wide
variety of subjects including labor organization, journalism, music, drama, history, women's studies, economics and industrial
arts. Courses were taught by union officials and professors from neighboring universities, such as Stanford University and
the University of California at Berkeley.
