The Labor Café at the Center for Social Concerns convenes the Notre Dame community each month for casual conversation on contemporary questions about work, workers, and workplaces.
On November 10, the topic will be: “How Much Is Too Much? Profits, Paychecks, and Power in Today’s Uncertain Economy.”
Trista Brantley, a junior majoring in history and political science, will facilitate the discussion.
