I don’t have the video done from the event at the Orpheum yet, but here some more labor panel discussions.
UPCOMING EVENT
THE ECONOMICS OF THE WISCONSIN LABOR STRUGGLE
Friday, March 11, 7PM

With:
* Jim Cavanaugh, South Central Federation of Labor
* Laura Dresser, Center on Wisconsin Strategy
* Patrick Hickey, Workers Rights Center
* Edo Navot, Teaching Assistants Associtation
* Michael Rosen, Milwaukee Area Technical College
Topics:
* Are public sector workers responsible for the state’s fiscal crisis? Are they overcompensated?
* Who’s got a vested economic interest in this fight? Who benefits? Who loses?
* What would an alternative budget that involves “shared sacrifice” look like?
* What is the relationship among unions, the economy, and inequality? How would a revitalized labor movement help all workers?
