Labor (journal)

Last updated

History

The journal was established in February 2004 when Fink, along with the entire editorial board of Labor History and much of the staff, left that publication after a disagreement with publisher Routledge over the direction of the journal. [4] According to Fink, the principal issue was maintaining the journal's editorial independence. [5] Labor is endorsed by the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition, as a SPARC Alternative. [6] In 2016 the board voted to adjust the subtitle to Labor: Studies in Working-Class History to reflect a new transnational scope that stretched beyond the Western hemisphere.
