This panel considers what role anti-discrimination law plays in promoting democratic workplaces. In general, democratic workplaces put into place democratic principles such as power accountability and worker participation in workplace decisions. Scholars have identified the goals of a democratic workplace as including, highly participatory employee engagement, equally distributed compensation, more employee control of the workplace, improved work conditions, and egalitarian social interactions. Panelists will discuss whether anti-discrimination in employment laws serve these goals.
