PANEL DISCUSSION: Media and Labor
A New Relationship or a Fleeting Moment

IS THERE a different attitude towards labor in mainstream media, and if so, how do we capitalize on this moment? Is the public more sympathetic to union members since many hold essential jobs that got us through the worst of the pandemic? What is the impact of the recent organizing victories at Starbucks and Amazon?
