Seismic Shifts: Organized Labor & COVID’s Impact on the Economy

THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 2021 * 12PM -1PM (ET) * VIA ZOOM

Join us to explore the major economic shifts related to the COVID crisis, how organized labor is responding to these developments, and what economic policies the Biden administration and Congress should pursue to address the short and long term challenges working people are facing.

This event is part of a series of virtual programs designed to spur discussion about what the impact of the COVID-19 crisis reveals about contemporary capitalism and democracy. This series also considers the prospects for structural change in light of the 2020 election results and a new shift in political power.

This event is part of SLU’s ongoing programming focusing on issues confronting workers, communities, and movements for justice. Recent speakers include Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, Sara Nelson of AFA-CWA, and Cristina Jimenez of United We Dream. Please visit slu.cuny.edu/videos to view past programs.
