Webinar on Enforcing Labor Standards in a Recession: An Opportunity to Support Workers Who Risk Their Lives
Dear Friends,
Please join us on Wednesday, September 30th at 12pm EDT (9am PDT) to hear about and discuss the results of a national study [[link removed]] on labor standards violations during the Great Recession of 2007-2009. The research, which provides a cautionary tale for our current recession, was published by the Washington Center for Equitable Growth and highlighted in this New York Times article [[link removed]] .
Northwestern Political Scientist Dan Galvin will share results that include:
*
The
rise
and
fall
of
minimum
wage
violations
that
mirrored
that
of
unemployment;
*
Workers
earning
low
wages
lost
one-fifth
of
their
wages,
on
average;
*
Immigrants,
Black,
Latinx,
and
women
workers
were
1.5
to
2
times
more
likely
to
suffer
a
violation
than
non-immigrant,
white,
or
male
workers
-
and
up
to
4
times
as
likely
if
they
belonged
to
two
of
the
listed
protected
classes;
and
*
An
April
2020
survey
of
California
voters
showed
that
many
vulnerable
workers
are
unaware
of
state
and
federal
paid
leave
protections.
The presenters include Michelle Holder , Assistant Professor of Economics at City University of New York, whose research focuses on the Black community and women of color in the American labor market, including the impact of the Great Recession, and David Weil , Dean of the Heller School at Brandeis and former Wage and Hour Administrator at USDOL. They will draw on years of experience to discuss how enforcement can disrupt this trend. RSVP for the webinar here [[link removed]] .
We look forward to this conversation!
Sincerely,
Tanya Goldman (Center for Law and Social Policy);
Janice Fine (Center for Innovation in Worker Oorganization); and
Katherine Zickuhr (Washington Center for Equitable Growth)
**Stay tuned for future webinars focused on strategic enforcement in a recession.
