DESCRIPTION:The Gig Economy, AI, Robotics, Workers and Dystopia San Francisco\nInitial 
 Speakers:\nSteven Hill, writer and journalist on the Gig Economy.\nAuthor 
 of Raw Deal: How the “Uber Economy” and Runaway Capitalism are Screwing 
 American Workers.\nEdward Escobar, founder of the Alliance for Independent 
 Workers – #DriversUnite International Movement. UBER/LYFT/Black Car 
 Driver\nMehmet Bayram is a tech worker and is with the International Labor 
 MediaNetwork.\n\nSponsored by LaborNet and WorkWeek Radio\n\nSan Francisco 
 is now a world center of tech, yet the workers, whether UBER-Lyft drivers 
 or a growing number of gig workers, are under extreme stress and face 
 nightmare conditions with no worker or union rights. The growing number of 
 suicides is a reaction to this dire state.\n\nWhile San Francisco has more 
 billionaires per person than any city in the world, there are thousands of 
 homeless, escalating evictions of tenants, and a massive gridlock with 
 growing environmental issues. Has capitalism gone wild and is this the 
 permanent dystopian world or can working people and our unions transform 
 this city and society? These are some of the questions that will be 
 addressed at this event.\nSee
