| | | Among rich countries, U.S. workers are uniquely vulnerable during the Covid-19 pandemic. It wasn’t always this way. In the mid 70s, workers had better protections, generally more insurance, and better wages. By tracing the history of how we got here, we can understand what it might take to get us out.Join us for a live conversation in support of the new series How'd We Get Here? from The Bay with KQED's Sam Harnett (Labor and Technocapitalism Reporter), Veena Dubal (Associate professor of Law, UC Hastings) and Jacob Hacker (Stanley B. Resor Professor; Director, Institution for Social and Policy Studies, Yale University). | | |
