Interview of Robert Repas, professor emeritus of the Michigan State University School of Labor and Industrial Relations. 2004-04-02
Robert Repas, professor emeritus of the Michigan State University School of Labor and Industrial Relations (SLIR), discusses his career and the history of SLIR. Repas talks about his earliest days as a labor advocate in Wisconsin, how SLIR was staffed and various people he worked with through the years, the Michigan Legislature's investigation into the school and its mission, his relationship with MSU President John Hannah, SLIR programs and seminars, the MSU Faculty Grievance Office, and his involvement in the drives to unionize MSU faculty. Repas says that he believes that his telephone was tapped through most of the 1960s because of his association with the ACLU and his run-ins with members of the John Birch Society. Repas is interviewed by John Revitte, MSU professor of Labor and Industrial Relations.
