Does America (Still) Need Unions?

6:00 pm - 6:00 pm
WCHP Lecture Hall
Portland Campus
Robert H. Zieger
Free and open to the public

Professor Zieger鈥檚 lecture examines connections between the turbulent history of American labor and the present-day circumstances of American workers. Do changing economic conditions and structures of work make organized labor an anachronism in our globalized world? If, on the other hand, a vigorous and autonomous labor movement is a necessary component of a democratic social order, how might knowledge of labor鈥檚 struggles in the past be useful in revitalization of the labor movement?
