Publication history
The journal was established in 1953 as the Labor Historian's Bulletin, and later incorporated Newsletter. 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.
The journal is currently published by Routledge, an imprint of Taylor and Francis. The current editor is Craig Phelan of Solidarity Center, US editor Gerald Friedman of the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, and book review editor John Trumpbour of Harvard University.
Since 2013, the journal is being published 5 times a year.
