Louisiana has had its share of reform movements through the years. One reform effort from the 1970s changed the dynamics of the labor and management working relationship: Right to Work. The seventh annual McLeod Lecture Series is pleased to present “Right to Work: Changes in Louisiana's Political Landscape." A lively discussion will take place between people who were involved on both sides of the Right to Work movement, including legislators, journalists and economists. Other panelists will share views about the long term impact of Right to Work on economic development in our state.

The McLeod Lecture Series is supported by an endowment that has been established through the McNeese State University Foundation in honor of Bill McLeod, former legislator, judge and community leader. It is dedicated to presenting timely as well as historical aspects of Louisiana politics and efforts to promote a climate of good government.
