Is there actually a labor shortage right now? At EWOC’s recent event, 3 thinkers and organizers discussed how the problems faced by low-wage workers existed long before the pandemic. Today’s so-called “labor shortage” just brings that to the forefront.
This Striketober, we’re seeing both outcomes in action — with strikes across the country in full swing while a nation-wide labor shortage remains.
With millions of workers quitting bad jobs, and bosses scrambling to find employees, it may be time for workers to organize and strike for union recognition.
As part of EWOC’s ongoing educational series, we’re highlighting the processes involved in organizing your workplace and explaining union terminology you might be unfamiliar with.
What is it about October that has employers spooked? This Halloween, we’re going as worker solidarity because there’s nothing scarier to them than that.
Join us on Tuesday, October 19, at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT) for EWOC’s event “Help Wanted: What Does the ‘Labor Shortage’ Mean For Working People?”
