Webinar: Policymaking for Fair Labor Practices

Join episode 2 of our Equity in Action series!

UPDATE: View the recording.

For parents and caregivers, the ability to pay bills, maintain stable housing, access health care, and keep their children in school can be severely affected by unfair labor practices. Long-standing inequities in workplace violations by employers have been experienced by low-wage, Latinx, Black, and female workers — and low-wage essential workers are often forced to choose between their health and their livelihood.

On February 28, 2023, we gathered a panel of experts to explore how systemic solutions and collaborative partnerships can promote enforcement strategies that serve workers and their communities. View our webinar Policymaking for Fair Labor Practices: Equitable Enforcement & Worker Rights to Support Healthy Families to learn about policy interventions that promote safe and stable employment and advance an economy that supports the needs of children and families.
