Attend a thought-provoking book talk featuring Steven Greenhouse, former New York Times reporter, as he discusses his new book "Beaten Down, Worked Up – The Past, Present, and Future of American Labor." Explore the current crisis in American work, examining historical precedents and the ongoing struggle for dignity in the workplace. Delve into topics such as the challenges faced by the working class, the #MeToo movement's impact on workplace abuses, immigrant worker issues, and concerns about automation-induced job loss. Gain insights into how workers have organized to address similar challenges in the past, the erosion of their gains, and how today's workers are finding their voice to demand a better future. Participate in a unique conversation with one of the nation's leading labor reporters, moderated by Maureen Conway of the Aspen Institute. Join the discussion on the past, present, and future of work in America and the role of working people in shaping that future. Engage with the conversation on social media, purchase the book for signing, and learn about the Working in America series and the Economic Opportunities Program's efforts to help low- and moderate-income Americans thrive in a changing economy.
