Abstract	Recent studies confirm that organized labor's role in society does not get fair treatment in the social studies and American history courses of the nation's schools. The report covers the first stage of AFL-CIO efforts in dealing with this problem, bringing together concerned persons in labor and education. Following the opening of the conference by Walter G. Davis and John A. Sessions, Nat Goldfinger and Moe Frankel discuss economic literacy problems in two addresses under the heading of "Labor and Economic Education." Making up a major portion of the report, "The New York Experience" offers an examination of three specific examples of labor activity in developing K-12 teacher resource materials in the New York City school systems. It includes excerpts of speeches by Albert Shanker, Carl Golden, Irving Sloan, George Wessel, and Samuel Sackman. "The Youngstown Experience" describes that community's initiative in attempting to correct imbalances in the treatment of labor in elementary and secondary school curriculum, with speeches by Al Shipka and Marcella Crann. Concluding that objective programs and a more balanced involvement of business and labor in education are needed, specific recommendations are set forth. An appendix offering a selective book list for young adults and children concludes the report. (MW)
