Eric Blanc, Assistant Professor of Labor Studies at Rutgers University, organizer trainer with the Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee, and author of Red State Revolt, presents a riveting account of the recent wave of workplace organizing—from Starbucks to Amazon and beyond.

Blanc explores the rise of “worker-to-worker unionism,” a grassroots model that empowers rank-and-file leadership, utilizes digital tools, and builds scalable power to tackle economic exploitation, racial injustice, and workplace authoritarianism. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how young worker leaders are turning unions back into powerful movements for change.
