"We Are All Fast-Food Workers Now": The Global Uprising Against Poverty Wages

Annelise Orleck is professor of history at Dartmouth College and the author of five books on the history of US women, politics, immigration, and activism, including “Common Sense and a Little Fire: Women and Working Class Politics in the United States, 1900-1965” and “Storming Caesars Palace: How Black Mothers Fought Their Own War on Poverty.”

Drawing from her new book “We Are All Fast-Food Workers Now”: The Global Uprising Against Poverty Wages”, Orleck will discuss low-wage worker movements from around the globe, specifically those of fast-food workers and farmworkers in places such as Cambodia, Bangladesh, and the United States.
