(Pre-Game Event before the Labor Notes Troublemakers School, all day June 18 in Oakland)
Doors open at 7pm. Speakers will begin at 7:30 with a moderated discussion to follow. Lights will go down and music will go up at 9:00.
Solidarity Unionism has gained prominence in the labor movement recently with organizing efforts at Jimmy John’s and Starbucks workers nationwide. Making the audacious assertion that workers themselves have the ability to engage in effective struggle at the workplace without relying on union professionals and labor laws stacked against workers. As much of the mainstream labor movement struggles to survive or present a credible alternative for workers, Solidarity Unionism points us toward a reinvigorated labor movement from below which imagines that a world without bosses is possible.
