About "Workers on the Rise: The State of Labor in San Antonio"
For decades, low pay and workplace abuse have persisted in San Antonio despite workers’
efforts to dignify their labor conditions and fight for their rights. Join us for this
panel, where local workers and organizers discuss how they have resisted these oppressive
conditions and how the public can become involved in the city’s labor movement. Spanish
