DESCRIPTION:It’s Not Working! The Labor Force Letdown, and How We Get Back Up\n\nDate 
 and Time: Tue, Jul 7, 2020 @ 6:30 PM PT\n\nAmong rich countries, US workers 
 are uniquely vulnerable during the Covid-19 pandemic: they have low wages, 
 less health insurance, and less access to personal protective gear. On top 
 of all that, they face retaliation if they speak up and demand those 
 things.\n\nIt wasn’t always this way. In the mid 70s, workers had better 
 protections, generally more insurance and better wages.\n\nSo how did we 
 get here? America tied its social safety net to employment and then 
 accepted the pressure of modern, globalized capitalism to prioritize 
 falling prices over all else. It was a slow, surreptitious chipping away 
 that happened in plain sight.\n\nBy tracing that history, we can understand 
 what it might take to get us out of it.\n\nKQED's Sam Harnett will be 
 joined by Veena Dubal and Jacob Hacker to discuss these unique American 
 challenges. In addition, Giselle Chow will take live graphic annotation 
 during the conversation that will be available for download after the 
 event.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2020/06/30/18834792.php
