We are in a period of increasing income inequality and the labor movement is working to address it. Join us as Bill Sokol helps us understand this important topic on Sunday, March 24 from 2 to 3:30pm.

He’ll explain:

• what income inequality is

• how and why it persists

• what unions have done to address it

• how the demands of recent strikers may help even the playing field
