Details
U.S. labor and working people are in trouble. The issues of deregulation, privatization and technology with mobile platforms have made millions of workers temporary with no real future in our country. This presentation will look at how labor ended up in this crisis and the growing strike wave and anger among working people in the United States. It will also look at the future of labor in the U.S. and globally.
Steve Zeltzer is the founder of the Labor Video Project and Labortech.net (http://www.labortech.net/). He produces a weekly labor show on KPFA called WorkWeek Radio, and has produced documentaries including “Halfway To Hell, The Workers and Unions That Built The Golden Gate Bridge”, narrated by Danny Glover.
After the Forum, please join us for a lunch at 12:30pm. The lunch is complimentary for first-time visitors and students.
