5.2 Beyond ESOP (Workshop)—Breakout Stream 2 Contrary to popular belief, having an employee stock-ownership plan does not typically mean that employees actually have any more power than in a traditional company. "Profit-sharing" alone is not radical enough to change the dynamic of treating labor like an expendable resource. This session's panelists describe innovative yet pragmatic approaches that take us "Beyond ESOP." From workers as active owners to a company with no owner at all, this session aims to challenge your assumptions about what truly constitutes "thinking outside the box" when it comes to socially and economically sustainable workplaces -- and ideally inspire your own ideas. Panelists: Natalie Reitman-White, Organically Grown Company/Alternative Ownership Advisors; Daniel Fireside, Equal Exchange; Shevanthi Daniel, Democracy at Work Institute; and Stephen R. Sleigh, Sleigh Strategy LLC | |||
5.3 Child Care as a Collective Bargaining and Labor Rights Issue (Workshop)—Breakout Stream 3 Access to quality, affordable, child care is essential for women's equal participation in society and paid employment. While U.S. and international unions are demanding increased investment in publicly funded childcare, with decent jobs for care workers, child care benefits as subjects of collective bargaining have been less common. Drawing on international and U.S. examples, this panel brings together policy researchers, union officials, and labor rights activists to discuss the circumstances under which unions have successfully bargained over employer-supported childcare, and whether - and how - employer-supported child care could become a greater labor rights and bargaining focus. Panelists: Ariane Hegewisch, Institute for Women's Policy Research; Debby King, National Domestic Workers Alliance (ex 1199SEIU); Christina Daniels, IBEW Local 48 Labor Littles Program; and Teófilo Reyes, Restaurant Opportunities Centers United | |||

6.1 Strategies for Attracting and Engaging Millennials and Gen Z in Employment and Labor Relations Courses (Workshop)—Breakout Stream 1 What is the future of teaching labor relations (on undergraduate, graduate, and professional levels) and what can we do about it? In programs where IR/HR courses are not required, many professors are introducing these concepts as "negotiations" to help students understand worker rights, all forms of negotiations and bargaining, dispute-resolution approaches, and the role of unions in human relations and problem-solving. This will feature robust discussions on how to keep IR subjects relevant to younger generations who have fewer protections for speech and organizing, and new exercises will be discussed and analyzed. Moderators: David Lewin, University of California, Los Angeles; and Eileen Hoffman, Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service Panelists: Janice Bellace, University of Pennsylvania; John W. Budd, University of Minnesota; Peter Norlander, Loyola University of Chicago; Richard Jenkins, University of Chicago Booth; and Christine Riordan, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Discussants: Daphne Taras, Ryerson University; Mark Anner, Pennsylvania State University; and Heather Grob, Saint Martin's University | |||

7.2 The Double Standard at Work: European Corporate Investment and Workers' Right in the American South (Workshop)—Breakout Stream 2 European firms have increased operations in the US South in recent years. Some honor organizing rights and bargain in good-faith. Others launch aggressive anti-union campaigns and fail to bargain in good faith. In 2019, the AFL-CIO released a report by labor law expert Lance Compa examining these firms' choices on workers' rights with case studies in southern states. At home, these companies respect organizing and bargaining rights, committing to ILO labor standards, OECD Guidelines, and the UN Guiding Principles. They often do not respect these global standards in Southern U.S. operations. Case studies on VW, Airbus and IKEA provide examples of companies that have followed a lower standard in the South. The region's legacy of racial injustice and social inequality open the door to a low-road model. The panel includes research by the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) on European firms in parts of Europe where worker rights and collective bargaining are less consolidated.

8.6 The Bystander Challenge: Effecting Real Change in the Post-#MeToo Era—Breakout Stream 6 This workshop examines a bystander's role in decreasing inappropriate communication and behavior in the workplace. Colleagues in a work environment often hear comments and witness behaviors that can escalate to the point of individuals feeling harassed by their coworkers. Increasingly, bystanders are being asked to become "up-standers" to stand up to perceived harassment issues. As many recognize, that's easier said than done. Many times, workplace dynamics make it challenging to know the correct course of action. Long-term working relationships, workplace culture, lack of diversity on a team, and discomfort with the topic can get in the way of taking action. | |||

9.3 The Gig Is Up! (Or Is It?): The Future of the Gig Workplace (Workshop)—Breakout Stream 3 Gig workers in a variety of industries are routinely called independent contractors rather than employees. The difference in status has significant repercussions. Labor relations professionals continue to grapple over misclassification as it impacts liability claims and organizing efforts. New laws and policies on worker classification are raising the stakes and creating higher risk for businesses who reject the employee model. Business are pushing back and seeking middle ground. This session will provide a number of perspectives on these important issues. Discussants: Joshua Adams, Gilbert & Sackman; and Christopher David Ruiz Cameron, Southwestern Law School | |||
