We invite you to join us for our annual symposium!
The Seattle Journal for Social Justice will be hosting our annual symposium on March 5, 2021. Due to the pandemic, we will be hosting this event virtually.
Workers' Rights in the Wake of a Global Pandemic
Even before COVID-19 exploded in the United States, the worklaw system here had already created levels of wealth and income inequality not seen since the great depression, systematically divesting Black, native, immigrant and other vulnerable communities of wealth and income. The COVID-19 pandemic has magnified these inequities and enhanced the need for a conversation to both expose the underlying structures and to offer paths forward to a healthier future. This symposium aims to create space for that conversation among academics, practitioners, and community advocates to analyze the ways in which the COVID-19 outbreak has impacted safeguards for workers.
