2021 Labor Roundtable: Friday, November 12th, 2021
The 19th Annual ILR Labor Roundtable brings a wide range of representatives in labor leadership, unions, and social justice organizations to engage in dynamic, in-depth conversations with students. Join us to learn about current trends and roles in the labor movement, as well as the fundamental role it plays in bringing about social change.
Attend one or both sessions. Separate registrations are required. We recognize you have many commitments, so attendees are welcome to come and go as needed to accommodate classes, work, etc.
