National University for Labor Relations

The National University for Labor Relations, previously known as the Lathadun Institute of Guild Relations is a university in Calleebane, Lathadu. It is the only public college under the direction of the National Federation of Trade Guilds. The National University for Labor Relations originated from the Cadre School for the NFTG established in 1926, and was upgraded to a regular college for undergraduate education with the approval of the Ministry of Education and Culture. With almost a century of history, it is a multidisciplinary college with distinctive majors covering economics, management, law, literature, engineering, and art.

History
The history of the NULR began in 1926 with the establishment of the School of Administrative Guild Cadres at Thalloocree, a community on the outskirts of Calleebane. The school later became the Lathadun Institute of Guild Relations in 1953 following its accreditation, offering continuing education to trade unions and wider society. Following years of experimentation, exploration, and hard work, the institute developed into a nationally influential institution for adult higher education. In 1983, it was renamed to the National University for Labor Relations following the addition of several new wings and course offerings. In 1999, a satellite campus was opened in Ushteyghoo, commonly referred to as NULR East.

Schools and departments
Majors for undergraduate education include labor relations, engineering (mechanical and chemical), labor administration, economics, political science, journalism, law, Gundiagh language, and Sedic drama and literature. In 2020, officially approved by the Degree Committee of the Ministry of Education and Culture, the NULR launched a pilot professional master's education program and began recruiting graduate students.

Departments include:
 * Department of Labor Relations
 * Department of Public Management
 * Department of Engineering
 * Department of Law
 * Department of Cultural Studies
 * Department of Cadre Training
 * Department of Advanced Vocational Education

Research
The NULR has many senior experts in the fields of trade union theory, labor and employment, industrial relations, labor law, basic labor theory, and labor market theory. It has gradually put in place a unique research apparatus in trade union and labor sciences. The university stands at the forefront in the fields of trade union study, the history of various worker's movements, industrial relations theory, labor law, and labor economics in Lathadu. It has undertaken and completed a number of research projects at varying levels of government and offered advice to government departments in making policy. The Journal of the National University for Labor Relations, called Niart ny Labreeyn (Power of the Worker) is rated as one of the core Lathadun political journals and one of the core social journals in that nation as well.

Campuses
The NULR currently has two campuses. Its primary location is in County Calleebane, the larger of the two where the university is headquartered. However, a satellite campus opened in Ushteyghoo in 1999 has proven incredibly successful, and has grown at a rapid pace since its inception. The current Dean of the University is Thom Genor, a graduate from the university's law school.
