At PALM we create and support new ways for management and labor to compete by building on common interests, joint collaboration, and problem solving.
PALM is a community resource in the general field of labor-management relations, including research of targeted industry trends and networking among groups desiring peer access to experiences in labor-management collaboration as an alternative to adversarial systems.
