Labor on the Move: Prospects and Challenges

Following the Covid disruptions, we are seeing a new militancy among U.S. workers, with an uptick of labor organizing and activity that has not been seen in decades. President Biden was able to stop railway workers from striking last December. Now union members are choosing more progressive leadership. How can they assert themselves independently and throw off the stranglehold by the Democratic Party?

Speakers include:
Luna Osleger – UAW* member, academic researcher at UC Santa Cruz and the shop steward at her workplace
Yajaira Cuapio – UESF* organizer, the bargaining team in their contract fight and a social worker at SFUSD for 9 years
Ramon Patrick Blanco – IBT # 70*, a decades-long member of Teamsters for a Democratic Union and (though no longer a UPS worker) played a major role in preparing for a UPS Strike
*Organizations listed for identification purposes only.

Please help us celebrate our return to the Starry Plough by ordering food and/or drinks. Please arrive early to place your order so that you do not miss any of the presentations. An open discussion will follow the presentations.
