Coming in November: Labor Then and Now & Inoculation
Join us this November for the second month of our fall public offerings! Registration is open, and classes are held in-person at the Labor Center in Georgetown and online.
Labor Then and Now: A Primer on Labor History
Thursday November 14, 6pm to 8pm
A crash course on the history of the U.S. labor movement and the ongoing fights for workers' dignified livelihoods. In this glimpse at our past, we'll examine how the development of our rights and protections as working people has not been a linear journey, but a constant struggle between the owning class and workers and we'll see how history may not repeat itself, but it certainly rhymes.
This class is on Thursday November 14 from 6pm to 8pm in-person at the Labor Center in Georgetown and online. Advance registration is required, interpretation is available, and the registration fee is $10 with no one turned away for lack of funds.
Inoculation Against Anti-Union Propaganda
Thursday November 21, 6pm to 8pm
When workers fight back, we can count on the boss to retaliate with misinformation and union-busting. This is why inoculation, preparing our co-workers to resist these sentiments, is an essential part to building and maintaining power in our unions. In this class, we will discuss inoculation practices to help build resiliency against management's tactics as we shift the balance of power into workers' hands.
This class is on Thursday November 21 from 6pm to 8pm in-person at the Labor Center in Georgetown and online. Advance registration is required, interpretation is available, and the registration fee is $10 with no one turned away for lack of funds.
