Join Haymarket Books, Labor Notes, and the American Prospect for a discussion of how to build labor's power in the Trump era.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With an emboldened Trump in the White House for a second term, the ground has shifted dramatically for unions. The labor movement, like many institutions, is scrambling to devise strategies to build power—or even just survive—during these challenging times.
This authoritarian consolidation of power is testing unions. What can unions do to survive in the second Trump presidency? What tactics and strategies can help organize more new members and best survive an all-out assault on labor and other rights?
