We are pleased to share our 2024 Year in Review, a comprehensive look back at what we’ve been up to this year. From publications to convenings to testimonies, the team had a busy and productive year. Some highlights include:
- A visit from Shawn Fain, President of the UAW, who inspired our Harvard Trade Union Program participants, students and community with his call for working class solidarity as the only route to a fair economy and a just society;
- The release of “Building Worker Power in Cities and States,” a go-to resource for states and localities looking for ways to empower workers despite federal preemption;
- Events featuring FTC Chair Lina Khan and DOJ Antitrust Division Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Doha Mekki, who shared with our students and our community their vision for antitrust and fair competition laws that value the interests of workers as much as the interests of consumers and corporations; and
- New reports on AI and workers’ rights, recommendations on regulatory approaches to protecting workers from union busting, actions that states and localities can take to lock in wins for workers, and more.
We’re proud to serve as a hub for collaborative research, policy, and strategy to empower working people, and look forward to continuing to bring advocates, lawyers, policymakers, communicators, and academics together to develop innovative strategies to advance a more equitable economy and democracy in the new year. Here’s to 2025!
