On Tuesday, February 24, 2009, the course Labor Studies 4 was approved by the LA Trade Tech Curriculum Committee for satisfying the American Institutions and U.S. History requirement for students under Plan A and Plan B.

This means that students can now take Labor Studies 4 to satisfy their American Institutions and U.S. History transfer requirements instead of taking a listed History or Political Science course.
