Publication History
The journal was established in 1953 as the Labor Historian's Bulletin (ISSN 0456-9644), and later incorporated Newsletter (OCLC 16812578). In 1960, the journal changed its name to Labor History and was being published by the Tamiment Institute, later to be published by CarFax, a subsidiary of Taylor & Francis.
In 2003 the journal was sold to Taylor and Francis. Following conflicts with the new publisher over editorial independence, editor-in-chief Leon Fink, the entire editorial board, and much of the editorial staff left to establish a rival journal, Labor: Studies in Working-Class History of the Americas.
The journal is currently published by Routledge, an imprint of Taylor and Francis.

—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“The basic idea which runs right through modern history and modern liberalism is that the public has got to be marginalized. The general public are viewed as no more than ignorant and meddlesome outsiders, a bewildered herd.”
