Annual ILR Labor Roundtable Set for Virtual Debut
The 18th Annual ILR Labor Roundtable will be held virtually in a pair of Zoom sessions on Friday.
Each year, the event brings a range of representatives in labor leadership, unions and social justice organizations to engage in conversations with students. Through these dialogues, students have opportunities to learn about trends and roles in the labor movement, as well as the fundamental role it plays in bringing about social change.
The event is sponsored by the ILR Worker Institute and the ILR Office of Career Services, and is open to students . Attendees are free to join one or both sessions, but separate registrations are required.
