South Coast Working

UMass LEC produces South Coast Working Podcast

“South Coast Working” is a podcast series from the Arnold M. Dubin Labor Education Center that informs and entertains audiences on important labor issues through the perspectives of South Coast tradespeople, residents, political figures, and others who continue to build the region. It is generously supported by the Dubin family.

The purpose of the project is to engage and spark conversations on campus and in the broader community about the important labor issues in our region. It’s been critical to learn from the expertise of our faculty and the enthusiasm and skills of our students.
