Working people across the country and right here in Thurston, Lewis, and Mason Counties are facing escalating attacks on their livelihoods and their dignity. In response to this assault, the Thurston Lewis Mason Central Labor Council is partnering with the Washington Labor Education and Research Center (WA LERC) to present The South Sound Labor School education program at Evergreen State College on four Saturdays in 2026.

Click here to register for these Saturday sessions (your union may sponsor your registration!)

The South Sound Labor School will offer “union curious” workers, rank-and-file union members, union leadership and staff, and members of community organizations the education they need to make our communities stronger and more effective on January 31, April 25, July 25, and October 31, 2026. Click here to find out more about the structure of the day, and what’s planned for each session.

Your $20 registration fee for each Saturday session will cover a light breakfast, lunch, and refreshments throughout the day - as well as workshops, panel discussions, and community strategy sessions with a focus on building stronger communities and a fighting labor movement that can stand against austerity and authoritarianism.

Come sharpen your skills, build community, and help build the movement! Register today, and spread the word about the South Sound Labor School by sharing the attached flier with every working person you know.
