The Just Wage Forum 2021 is a series of conversations between scholars and practitioners on the Just Wage Framework & Online Tool.
- What makes any given wage just or unjust?
- What are the rights, responsibilities, and roles of employers, workers, government, unions, community groups, and the public more generally in securing safe, decent-paying jobs and economic opportunities?
- What are the best ways to tackle the persistence of structural discrimination and increasing economic inequality?
On select Fridays through July 2021, join us for Zoom webinars featuring a diversity of perspectives.
Criterion 1: A Just Wage Promotes a Decent Life
We'll start on Feb. 26 with Criterion 1: a Just Wage Fosters a Decent Life, featuring Thea Lee, president of the Economic Policy Institute in DC, and Stephanie Gharakhanian, special counsel for the Workers Defense Project in Austin, Texas. Tom Stapleford, Associate Professor of the History and Philosophy of Science and Chair of the Program of Liberal Studies, University of Notre Dame, will respond.
