Barret Elward, President of UFAS Local 223, joins us for the March 19th Labor Forward forum to discuss key issues facing UW-Madison campus workers. In conversation with host Assistant Professor Lola Loustaunau, he will cover UFAS’ organizing efforts around Workday and pod structures, the importance of meet-and-confer processes, immigration and free speech challenges, and the impact of federal cuts on university employees. As a dedicated labor leader, Barret brings firsthand experience and critical insight into the ongoing fight for worker rights at UW-Madison.
Join us on the third Wednesday of every month at noon (CT) for the Labor Forward forum. At the forum, School for Workers faculty interview advocates of the labor/worker movement to highlight their important work, celebrate their progress, and learn from their unique experiences. The forum is free and pre-registration is required to receive the webinar link.
