Is Gig Work a Job? Uber and Others Are Maneuvering to Shape the Answer
When Your Boss Is An Algorithm
Technology has arrived and is rapidly changing the workplace at a magnitude that we have yet to fully grasp. From a projected 36 million American jobs facing "high exposure" to automation, to new jobs being created, to the changing relationship between employees and employers, technology is here to stay and impacting the way we do our work and think about the workplace.
Conversations like these are taking place nationally and globally, in labor unions, worker centers, technology companies, corporate boardrooms, truck stops and retail breakrooms, academia, and policy spaces.
Join us for a discussion and deep insight into what these conversations look like from advocates working on the frontlines of these issues and explore opportunities to build a stronger 21st century labor force.
