Overview
Please join the Worker Institute for the second of a three-part series of webinars exploring worker precarity across different industries in the United States. This time, we will examine the nature of precarious work in logistics and warehousing as critical components of our supply chains. Together, warehousing and logistics ensure a seamless flow of goods through the supply chain, bridging the gap between production and consumption. With the ever-burgeoning growth of e-commerce, the push for an interconnected system that leverages automation and digitalization to enhance precision, flexibility, and efficiency has never been so pronounced. But where does that leave the workers in this industry?
This webinar will open with exploring what change in this industry looks like from the vantage point of the worker. A panel of organizers will then present examples of how workers' voices have been leveraged through collective representation and unionization to successfully counter low-road employment standards.
