Williams. Earlier this year, the ME AFL-CIO Labor Reading Group read Williams's book, Outclassed: How the Left Lost the Working Class and How to Win Them Back. Now, we're excited to welcome her for an engaging discussion on class culture, the changing nature of the American working class, and what these shifts mean for anyone interested in building a stronger labor movement. What does it mean to be "working class" today? Is class primarily about economic position, education, culture, or identity? Or some combination of all of these? Williams will explore how class shapes our workplaces, politics, and everyday interactions. Joan C. Williams is an internationally recognized scholar of social inequality, a distinguished professor of law, and the author of numerous books on class, gender, and work. Her research has influenced conversations on labor, economic inequality, and political polarization across the United States. https://actionnetwork.org/events/labor-reading-group-discussion-with-joan-c-williams
