On Wednesday, October 7 at 4:30 p.m. Eastern, EPI will host a Zoom event to launch our new project, Unequal Power. Unequal Power is a three-year, interdisciplinary initiative that challenges the assumption that workers and employers have equal bargaining power and identifies why we need to operate with a framework that centers unequal workplace power. The event will feature presentations on this topic by researchers, a brief overview of the project, and a dedication of the initiative to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, whose dissent in Epic Systems inspired the project.
