Within the span of a few years, American workers sparked a dramatic resurgence in organizing, evidenced by broadscale strikes, drives more likely to yield new unions, and decades-high public support for labor. This renewed attention to labor, however, has been accompanied by polarization and erosion within bedrocks of the rule of law and norms for fairness and equality. Policies from the current administration pose existential questions for: work law; governance; labor organizing, from social justice unionism to the exigencies of race and gender identity; federal infrastructure; and new judicial dynamics. Our panel of experts will relate current efforts to rescind or rebuild legal norms to these developments for the workplace.
