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. View Trailer HERE. \nRegister HERE.

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.

Find out during our next virtual hangout Thursday\, May 13th\, from 4-5pm\, where we connect and have an informal Q&A with UCLA alumni Senior Deputy Labor Commissioner Jocelyn Lopez and Field Enforcement Deputy II Juliet Ovalle. Let’s share space and have a casual conversation about careers with the CA Labor Commissioner’s Office! \nJocelyn is a first generation college student who graduated from UCLA with a Bachelor’s of Arts in Political Science and a minor in Labor and Workplace Studies.

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

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.
