NYC, June 1: “The Global Minimum Wage Struggle,” at Left Forum


The Global Minimum Wage Struggle


Global capital’s “race to the bottom” in imposing ever-lower—even sub-survival—wages is generating resistance around the world. With a focus on the garment industry in Bangladesh and Haiti, the speakers will discuss the importance of working class internationalism. This includes not only building solidarity, but also coordination of struggles.
