Labor Power and Strategy Book Discussion
February 25, 2023 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm
What would it take to topple Amazon? To beat back the austerity budgets polarizing our city? To rebuild the labor movement? How is it possible to organize those without hope who are working on the margins?
John Womack’s new book Labor Power and Strategy explores these questions and more, and his lively, illuminating thoughts are built upon by ten labor organizers and educators. Join Philly native Gene Bruskin, one of those labor organizers, in conversation with local unionizing workers to discuss.
About the Speaker:
Gene Bruskin was born and raised in Philly and has been active for forty years in the labor movement as local union president, organizer, and campaign coordinator for local and national unions. He has served as Labor Deputy for Jesse Jackson’s National Rainbow Coalition, was the campaign director for the Justice@Smithfield campaign in North Carolina, established the Strategic Campaigns Department for the American Federation of Teachers, and cofounded Labor Against the War.
