The Covid-19 pandemic, digitalization, climate change, right-wing populism, and rising authoritarianism have changed the world of work.
In this 2022 edition of the GLU-Conference hosted by Penn State University, AFL-CIO, International Center for Development and Decent Work (ICDD) and Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES), we analyze these developments and ask how we build anew our workplaces and societies based on social justice.
Background:
In GLU’s unique blend of academic work and trade union activism, we offer discussions in 7 tracks on inclusive social protection; ending gender-based violence and racism at work; worker organizing for a just transition; organizing workers in and across the platform economy; empowering migrant workers; workers' rights under rising authoritarianism; global supply chains and collaboration of academics and trade unionists
