SUMMARY:Future of Organizing Under Technological Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Since the COVID-19 outbreak\, many countries around the world have classified food and grocery delivery workers as “essential workers.” While the pandemic has exacerbated the violation of workers’ safety and rights by platform companies\, transnational activist networks across Europe\, Latin America\, Asia and the U.S. have strengthened existing alliances as workers frame their exposure to COVID-19 and the lack of social protections as a common ground for collective action. \nAs part of this panel\, activists from Madrid\, São Paulo and Los Angeles will discuss the experience of platform workers in different geographies of the pandemic. We will explore how labor is organizing to respond to the technological transformation of capitalism at a time of a global\, political and economic crisis. \nFor more information\, CLICK HERE. \nThe webinar will be broadcasted live on the UCLA Labor Studies Facebook Page.

SUMMARY:“Waging Change” Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Join UCLA Labor Studies for a Special Online Screening of @WAGINGCHANGE and Live Q&A Session! \nWaging Change shines a spotlight on the challenges faced by restaurant workers trying to feed themselves and their families off tips by intertwining stories of individuals\, such as Nataki Rhodes of Chicago\, Andrea Velasquez of Detroit and Wardell Harvey of New Orleans with the growing movement to end the tipped minimum wage. Featuring Saru Jayaraman\, Lily Tomlin\, Jane Fonda and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez\, the film reveals an American workers’ struggle hidden in plain sight– the effort to end the federal tipped minimum wage of $2.13 for restaurant servers and bartenders and the #MeToo movement’s efforts to end sexual harassment. Directed by Peabody award winner\, Abby Ginzberg\, Waging Change helps all consumers see the important role they have to play in ending this two-tiered wage system.
