COVID-19 has changed our work-life in dramatic ways: blurring distinctions between home and work, casting low-wage workers on the frontlines as “essential” without safety measures, and highlighting existing racial and gender disparities in our work.

Join us for a panel conversation featuring the experiences of front-line workers, labor advocates, and historical researchers who together will help us reconsider the role that work plays in our lives.

Speakers include:

• Adair Dammann, Washington State Labor Education and Research Center, South Seattle College (Moderator)
• Carmen Figueroa, Working Washington Gig Worker and Advocate (Panelist)
• Diana Johnson, Historian (Panelist)
• April Sims, Washington State Labor Council (Panelist)

This program is co-presented by MOHAI and the Labor Archives of Washington, University of Washington Libraries.
