Hand in Hand is excited to announce this upcoming webinar. We hope you will join us for this important conversation.

Worker power has led to great strides in making good, sustainable jobs. Unions in the United States have made jobs like teaching, nursing, the trades and manufacturing long-term careers that families can rely upon and stable opportunities for young people. At the same time, workers across industries that aren't unionized are organizing to fight for $15/hour and benefits like job security, paid time off and healthcare.

But domestic workers are legally barred from unionizing. So as workers, allies, and employers, how can we build solidarity and worker power in the absence of a formal union? How are we running and winning campaigns to ensure that labor policy represents those who work inside of homes as well as outside them? Learn about the history and future of building worker power in this webinar, as well as the campaigns Hand in Hand is working on!

This event will be in English with closed captions. Please reach out to erica@domesticemployers.org with access needs and we will do our best to accommodate.
