Unions, Climate, and the Fight for Affordability
Friday June 12, 2026 3:05pm - 4:50pm CDT
Corporate profiteers and climate change are driving our cost of living out of control. We'll learn from organized workers leading and winning fights that promote affordable communities and a safer climate. Then we'll discuss how our own unions could lead, with contracts and coalitions, to bring down the cost of a good living.

The Hidden Impacts of A.I.: Building Power in the Semiconductor Supply Chain
Friday June 12, 2026 3:05pm - 4:50pm CDT
Semiconductor production in the U.S. is set to triple in the next decade, with hundreds of billions in private investment and federal and state subsidies. But these new chip factories bring with them exploitation of workers and toxic byproducts that can contaminate our air, water, and land. We’ll share reports from the front lines of struggles in the semiconductor industry and talk about building worker and community power to make sure these companies are good employers and neighbors.
