The State of Working Wisconsin & Policy Priorities

Wednesday, September 4, 2024, 12pm CT

Black, Brown, Indigenous, and rural communities face significant economic challenges like low wages, wage theft, and exploitative labor practices. Despite legislative power often aligning with corporate interests, Wisconsin’s workers are actively fighting to improve job conditions—and they are winning!

Join us to hear the latest about Working Wisconsin and how workers are experiencing it. Workers from construction and services will speak directly about their own experiences in work and how the new policies around the right to organize, the minimum wage, and wage theft would change their experience of work in Wisconsin.

Partners include the Havens Wright Center for Social Justice, the High Road Strategy Center, the Milwaukee Service and Hospitality Workers Union, and Worker Justice Wisconsin.

The four proposals leave everyday families even further behind because none of these tax proposals effectively target families who are struggling to make ends meet.
