Half course, half book.

HRM 316 runs on a California labor relations textbook that is still being written. Each week you read a chapter, and your discussion posts show the author where the writing needs work. Half of this site is the course. The other half is the book you are helping to write.

The course

Learn the system

Fourteen chapters, one a week, from the four frames of reference to the future of work. Budd’s national text is paired with the California material.

The book

Help write it

Your muddiest points and workplace examples are changing California Labor and Industrial Relations before it goes to print.
