[Workshop & Networking] Organizing Professionals: Labor Unions in the Knowledge & Service Economy
What and Where:
For many knowledge professionals navigating job market uncertainty, including evaluators, the effort has largely been individual. What if there is a more collective approach to it?
This interactive virtual conversation on Tuesday, October 6, 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM ET, will cover the fundamentals of labor organizing, including what labor unions are and why they are an effective tool for improving working conditions for everyone. The presenter, Dr. Ragon from Penn State University , will also provide a broad overview of the major players and issues specific to organizing professionals. There will be time for networking and a discussion of how to get involved with or start organizing your own union.
