UE President to Speak on Lessons from 1990s U.S. Labor Party
UE General President Carl Rosen will be speaking on a zoom panel on “Lessons from the US Labor Party for Working-Class Politics Today” on Thursday, February 20, at 8pm ET.
The Labor Party was launched in 1996 by 1,400 elected delegates representing some one million union members and community activists. The panel will discuss questions including: What lessons can be learned from this earlier effort to organize an independent working-class party? How can this project inform contemporary efforts to move forward with building towards a serious alternative to the two corporate parties, grounded in the working class?
