Union Series: Private Sector Labor Law, ROP, EWOC, IBEW
Channel: Austin DSA
Date: 2021-05-27

Joshua F. of the Political Education Committee puts on a wonderful and meticulously researched introduction to private labor law in Austin DSA's first 4-part Union series that aims to provide critical political education on the state of unions and the labor movement in Texas. 
We'll be focusing on private sector labor laws and hear from great comrades and organizers from the Restaurant Organizing Project (ROP), Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee (EWOC), and the International Brotherhood of Electric Workers (IBEW).

The Union Series will develop a comprehensive understanding of where the labor movement is, where it needs to be, and the vital role unions will play in the struggle to win socialism.
