Recognized as one of the nation's top mediators, Usery is highly regarded
for his success in coordinating the federal government's labor-management
relations activities in both the private and public sectors. He founded
the W.J. Usery, Jr. Center at Georgia State University in 1997 to further public awareness
and understanding of labor-management relations and other human resource
issues.
The Usery Center can aid organizations looking for innovative solutions
to workplace problems and issues. Its staff assists business, industry
and government professionals, students and the public with research, training
and other tools that aid in its mission to influence and shape the workplace.

The Southern Labor Archives, which houses Usery's papers and memorabilia,
contains the largest collection of workplace and labor relations records
in the Southeast. Founded in 1971, it is housed in the Special Collections
and Archives section of the Georgia State University Library. Material from the collection
is available online at www.library.gsu.edu/spcoll/labor/.
