SUMMARY:Labor Speaker Series | “Roots of Resistance: A Story of Gender\, Race\, and Labor on the North Coast of Honduras” Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:Topic: “Roots of Resistance: A Story of Gender\, Race\, and Labor on the North Coast of Honduras” Book Talk\nDate: Thursday\, November 10\nTime: 1:00pm – 2:30pm PT\nLocation: UCLA Young Research Library\, Presentation Room\, Room 11348\n\nJoin us for a Book Talk with Suyapa G. Portillo Villeda\, author of Roots of Resistance: A Story of Gender\, Race\, and Labor on the North Coast of Honduras.\n\nOn May 1\, 1954\, striking banana workers on the North Coast of Honduras brought the regional economy to a standstill\, invigorating the Honduran labor movement and placing a series of demands on the US-controlled banana industry. Their actions ultimately galvanized a broader working-class struggle and reawakened long-suppressed leftist ideals. The first account of its kind in English\, Roots of Resistance explores contemporary Honduran labor history through the story of the great banana strike of 1954 and centers the role of women in the narrative of the labor movement.\n\nDrawing on extensive firsthand oral history and archival research\, Suyapa G. Portillo Villeda highlights the complexities of transnational company hierarchies\, gender and race relations\, and labor organizing that led to the banana workers strike and how these dynamics continue to reverberate in Honduras today.\n\nGuest Speaker: Suyapa G. Portillo Villeda\, Associate Professor of Chicana/o Latina/o Transnational Studies\, Pitzer College\n\nLoading…

SUMMARY:Labor Speaker Series | “Is Formalization the Answer? Is Informality the Problem?” Waste Picker Rights Policy in São Paolo and Bogotá with Manuel Rosaldo
DESCRIPTION:Topic: “Is Formalization the Answer? Is Informality the Problem?” Waste Picker Rights Policy in São Paolo and Bogotá\nDate: Thursday\, October 13th\nTime: 3:00pm – 4:30pm PT\nLocation: Luskin School of Public Affairs Faculty Lounge\, Room 5391\n\nUnder what circumstances does the formalization of informal jobs lead to pro-worker outcomes\, and when might formalization intensify workers’ exploitation or deprive them of work altogether? Drawing on 24 months of ethnographic field research\, this presentation analyzes two ambitious efforts to integrate informal waste pickers into formal waste management. This research finds that formalization policies in Bogotá\, Colombia elevated the incomes\, conditions\, and voice of thousands of waste pickers\, whereas parallel efforts in the seemingly more favorable context of São Paulo\, Brazil did not. Ultimately\, these differential outcomes hinged on waste pickers’ levels of power to shape policy design and implementation. \n\nGuest Speaker: Manuel Rosaldo\, Assistant Professor of Labor Relations and Sociology\, The Pennsylvania State University\nLoading…

SUMMARY:Labor Studies 101: The Global Struggle for Platform Workers’ Rights Beyond Proposition 22
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, May 27th activists from the UK\, Spain\, Italy and Belgium will join students from the UCLA Labor Studies Program to discuss recent developments in the global struggle for platform workers’ rights. \nIn California\, Uber\, Lyft and DoorDash have invested more than $200 million to pass Proposition 22 by granting platform companies an exemption from local labor laws to continue the practice of hiring workers without social security\, paid sick leave and the right to organize and bargain collectively. The CEOs of corporations\, such as UBER\, suggested that Proposition 22 would set a precedent for the gig economy at the international level. \nHowever\, platform workers have mobilized across the world to promote a more just regulation of this sector. Between February and April 2021\, the UK Supreme Court and Italian Labor Inspectorate dictated landmark rulings against Uber\, Deliveroo JustEat and Glovo that established the classification of platform workers as employees by providing them with labor rights and social protections. At the same time\, the European and Spanish parliaments are discussing groundbreaking law proposals that would require more transparency in the management of data by companies. \nAlex Marshall\, president of the Independent Workers of Great Britain (IWGB)\, Isabel Chacón from Taxy Project and Riders X Derechos in Spain\, Anne Dufresne\, co-founder of the first European network of food delivery workers and Paolo Borghi\, member of the grassroots union\, Deliverance Milano and postdoctoral scholar at the University of Milan\, will discuss how the struggle for labor rights in the platform economy has advanced after California passed Proposition 22. \nWatch on Facebook Live at 10:300AM PT on May 27th.

SUMMARY:Book talk | Brewing a Boycott: How a Grassroots Coalition Fought Coors and Remade American Consumer Activism with Allyson Brantley
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Book Talk on Tuesday\, May 18th at 2pm with Dr. Allyson Brantley\, author of Brewing a Boycott: How a Grassroots Coalition Fought Coors and Remade American Consumer Activism. Brewing a Boycott tells the story of one of the longest anti-corporate campaigns in U.S. history\, the Coors Boycott. From the 1950s to the 1990s\, union members\, progressive students\, Black and Chicano activists\, Native Americans\, feminists\, and members of the LGBTQ+ community built a powerful coalition to fight the antiunionism\, discrimination\, and notoriously conservative politics of Coors Brewing Company. The activists at the heart of this campaign built bridges between divided communities\, developed innovative campaign strategies\, and refused to give up until the company met their demands. The story highlights the vibrancy of activism in the final decades of the twentieth century and the enduring legacy of that organizing for communities\, consumer activists\, and corporations today. \nDr. Allyson Brantley teaches\, researches\, and writes about the history of the United States\, particularly in the 20th century. Her interests include the history of consumer culture\, social movements and activism\, and the US-Mexico borderlands. Dr. Brantley received her Ph.D. from Yale University in 2016 and her B.A. from the University of Notre Dame in 2009. Her recent publications include “Borderlands of Work\,” a review for the New Labor Forum\, and “’Mexico\, At Our Very Door’: Prohibition-Era Brewing in the US-Mexico Borderlands\,” in the Journal of the West (Summer 2016). \nJoin us on Facebook Live: facebook.com/UCLALaborStudies
