National Caucus of Labor Committees

Evidence indicates that the NCLC originated in 1968 during the SDS-led upheavals at Columbia University in New York City and that it was created by Lyndon LaRouche as a labor committee within SDS. Forced out of SDS, LaRouche then styled his group the National Caucus of Labor Committees, the name "U.S. Labor Party" being adopted later as a political designation LaRouche ran for President of the United States under the aegis of the USLP in 1976.
