 https://www.epi.org/event/building-back-better-or-building-back-worse-the-challenge-of-building-a-high-road-electric-vehicle-industry-with-anti-union-employers/\n\n\nElectric 
 vehicles are coming, and the reinvention of the U.S. auto industry holds 
 great potential for the economy and the climate. But realizing this 
 potential will require proactive, pro-worker policies at federal, state, 
 and local levels. \n\nWill we ensure that massive expansion of electric 
 vehicle manufacturing results in family-supporting jobs that revitalize 
 regional economies, reverse economic inequality, and close racial and 
 gender wage gaps? Or will we allow highly profitable, anti-union employers 
 to use public investments to deny workers’ rights and continue eroding 
 job standards?\n\nA new report from EPI Research Associate Gordon Lafer 
 documents the legal and illegal tactics automakers routinely use to block 
 workers from forming unions, and what’s urgently needed at this moment to 
 curb these anti-democratic, anti-worker trends across the industry. 
 \n\nJoin us for a launch event featuring report highlights and discussion 
 of implications for labor, racial, and climate justice with panelists from 
 the Sierra Club, United Auto Workers union, and EPI.\n\nOpening remarks 
 from the author of the report, Gordon Lafer, Professor at the Labor 
 Education and Research Center, University of Oregon, and EPI Research 
 Associate.\n\n--Derrick Figures, Economic Justice Director, Sierra 
 Club\n\n--Cindy Estrada, Vice President, UAW\n\n--Kyle Moore, Economist, 
 Project on Race, Ethnicity, and the Economy (PREE), Economic Policy 
 Institute\n\n--Moderator: Jennifer Sherer, Senior State Policy Coordinator, 
 EARN Worker Power Project, Economic Policy Institute\n\n
