Labor: The History of Unrest and the Struggle for Justice

Wednesday, March 12
3:30-4:50 p.m.
Alumni Hall, OJ Johnson Student Union

The 2025 MAYDAY! Peace Conference will explore how work has changed in the face of societal and technological change and how workers have responded to the forces that shape their labor. 

It will explore how labor movements have created the conditions for workers’ economic stability, and how (globalization, weakened labor protections, and rising economic insecurity) have fueled unrest.

The MAYDAY! Peace Conference was created to inspire attendees to work for justice and peace throughout the world. Starting in 2023, the conference follows a "teach-in" model. This format is designed to learn more about a complex and current topic from a variety of perspectives. The morning will include short remarks and a panel discussion from campus experts and time for small group dialogue.
