DESCRIPTION:Educational ACTION Conference-The Internet, Technology, The Gig Economy and 
 the Future of Labor\nThe development of technology, including artificial 
 intelligence, automation and platforms like UBER, Lyft, and Airbnb, are 
 making trillions for the tech and media companies that now dominate the 
 world. Growing marginalization of labor and complete deregulation now means 
 that hundreds of thousands of workers are being forced to travel hundreds 
 of miles to work on temp jobs as independent contractors.\nThis threatens 
 our environment here in the Bay Area and around the world.\n\n This 
 conference will look at how our economy is being transformed in the Bay 
 Area, nationally and globally, and how it is affecting working people, 
 including drivers, tech workers, and workers in other industries.\n \n The 
 new tech world is also allowing companies like Google and Apple, and the 
 U.S. government to know every place you go, every purchase you make, and 
 every word or text you use in communication. We will look at how workers 
 and unions, with the public, can challenge this new reality.\n\nSpeakers: 
 \nSteven Hill, Journalist on Technology; Ruth Silver Taube, Workers’ 
 Rights Clinic at the Katharine and George Alexander Community Law Center at 
 the Santa Clara University School of Law; Dr. Larry Rose, Former Medical 
 Director Cal-OSHA; Mehmet Bayran, LaborNet; Edward Escobar, The Alliance 
 For Independent Workers; Todd Davies, Stanford Center for the Study of 
 Language and Information, Lisa Milos, CWA UPTE UCSF Medical Interpreter;
