Harvard Law School is excited to announce the launch of the Center for Labor and a Just Economy (CLJE)\, an evolution and growth of the Labor and Worklife Program that demonstrates our commitm ent to helping foster the future of worker power.
Join us for a speci al discussion of the State of the Union and policies that can help build ne wfound power for workers with:
There’ s been a recent restructuring of work during the COVID-19 pandemic – which catalyzed a shift from worker frustration and anger to action – and has led to a resurgence of worker organizing. In fact\, a 2022 Gallup poll shows p ublic support for unions at a record high since 1965.
The door is ope n for U.S. workers to find new ways to countervail the power of concentrate d wealth and gain greater control over their lives and livelihoods. This mo ment also demonstrates the failure of our existing laws to serve the intere sts of working Americans. It shouldn’t be this hard for workers to win orga nizing campaigns and to convert those wins into tangible gains. In this mom ent of renewed opportunity for workers\, the CLJE will help formulate and p ursue new strategies to empower working people to build an equitable econom y and democracy.
