Historically labor unions in the U.S. and around the world have been at the forefront of mobilizing their members to protect civil liberties and strengthen democracy. As part of our Defending Democracy Series, the Albert Shanker Institute is partnering with the AFT International Affairs Department, the Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance, and the AFT’s Asian American and Pacific Islander Task Force to host a discussion with South Korean union leaders who have been active in ongoing work in South Korea to mobilize communities and strengthen democracy. This webinar will go beyond the recent protests to martial law, share examples of motivating tactics and strategies, and tell the story of longstanding resistance to dictatorship.
Please join us for this important and timely webinar, hosted by AFT Massachusetts President Jessica Tang and ASI Executive Director Mary Cathryn Ricker, as labor union leaders from South Korea share tactical and strategic lessons from their successful efforts to confront authoritarianism and protect democracy.
When: Monday, November 17th | 5:00–6:00 PM EST
