In our first major in-person convening since the pandemic, we gathered nearly 100 leaders from labor, policy, advocacy, and academia to explore the possibilities for lawmaking at the state and local levels to advance worker power.
Our two-day convening covered topics ranging from innovative worker board models to strategic co-enforcement options to post-Glacier Northwest strategies to protect unions from tort liability claims. Innovative new ideas and anticipated challenges that surfaced from our discussions will inform the next iteration of our toolkit, which we intend to be of practical use for organizers, policymakers, and others interested in building worker power at the state and local levels.
