Can workers run society?

Wednesday, April 29 | 6:30pm
on zoom

The world has been turned upside down in the wake of the covid-19 pandemic. Some of the lowest paid and most marginalized workers are now seen as the most 'essential' in the jobs that are critical to survival and day-to-day life. This reality is raising questions about how our system is organized and who runs the show. Do we need really need the bosses? Join us for this forum that will look at how workers are organizing now and the history of when workers have fought to control their destiny.
