In an era of systemic attacks to cut union resources and erode workers’ rights, there needs to be serious discussion about how to effectively fight back. This panel will cover the implications of Janus, the fight for $15 and discuss the innovative ways in which unions and workers’ rights groups continue to build a strong voice for the working class.
Speakers: RoseAnn DeMoro, Activist & Former Executive Director, National Nurses United (NNU); Mark Dimondstein, President, American Postal Workers Union (APWU); Joseph Geevarghese, Executive Director, Good Jobs Nation; Peter Knowlton, General President, United Electrical, Radio & Machine Workers (UE)
