About
Across the country, working people struggling on the frontlines of America’s service economy are standing up for jobs that deliver stability and respect. Millions of working people scramble with ever-changing workweeks that cause volatile incomes and strain families – making it hard to make ends meet and impossible to get ahead.
Join us on August 2, 2017 from 12:00-1:00pm ET for a funders webinar to learn more about this new movement for a family-sustaining workweek that cuts across civic engagement and workforce development strategies, as well as the increasing role technology, is playing in determining economic outcomes for millions of workers. We’ll discuss:
Unprecedented policy momentum including this year’s historic statewide win in Oregon and new standards in six cities;
Powerful worker-led campaigns that moved the retail sector to end on-call scheduling and are showing us the path to creating good jobs in growing retail and food service industries; and
Innovative strategies to build the voice of service sector workers in their workplaces, with policymakers, and at the ballot box in important cities and states across the country.
Speakers:

Emma Oppenheim, Open Society Foundations
Carrie Gleason, Center for Popular Democracy’s Fair Workweek Initiative
Jeff Anderson, UFCW Local 555 & Working Families
