🌹 Labor 101: Socialism and the Labor Movement - Session 2 (Zoom Series)

We are witnessing a new moment in labor with a wave of strikes. In the East Bay, Oakland teachers, UC grad students, and workers in a drywall factory. Across the U.S., auto workers, Amazon workers, Starbucks workers…

What’s the relationship between socialists, unions, and the working class?    

East Bay DSA’s Labor Committee is offering a four-session weekly series starting Thursday, April 10th at 6 PM.  

This series will be on Zoom only! All California DSA members and friends are welcome.

PLEASE RSVP THROUGH THIS LINK!

 Topics include:

• the importance of labor for the socialist project
• what unions are and do Questions?
• labor history
• labor’s challenges under Trump
• ways to join and support the labor movement

If you are new to socialism and/or looking to learn more about unions and the labor movement, this is for you!

Purposes for the Zoom Series

Since the COVID years these have been in-person groups but in April we are going to try an all-Zoom group.  We have some EBDSA members who live too far away or take care of children or relatives, or have mobility problems; we’re hoping this gives an opportunity for participation for some of them.

We are also hoping that the Zoom format can mean participation by members of other chapters. Some chapters may not have something like this and members there are encouraged to join us. We’ve tried to organize our materials so that a group leader has some guidelines, a timetable, and notes for each session. If you’d like to try leading a group, attending this would be a great way to start.
