603 - Section on Labor and Labor Movements Paper Session. Labor Besieged: Repression and Resistance in the Contemporary United States
Tue, August 25, 2:30 to 4:10pm, TBASession Submission Type: Paper Session
Abstract
Labor remains under attack on multiple fronts. Wage theft has become standard in industries such as residential construction. Employers often lock out workers who seek to organize, targeting worker leaders for repression. The press widely maligns unions. Yet unions still provide the best source of protection for workers. The papers in this panel analyze the attacks U.S. workers face today, the ways labor is fighting back, and the benefits of having a union.
