DESCRIPTION: Tensions between workers and tech companies in the Bay Area have come to a head with increasing frequency over the past year. The California Supreme Court's decision in Dynamex and enactment of AB5 last fall transformed tens of thousands of gig workers into employees under California law - leaving the question of how rideshare drivers, shoppers, and taskers will enforce these new rights. Permanent employees enjoy an oft-mocked perk culture while working side-by-side with temps and contractors who lack job security and a minimum wage. And "techies" who enjoy the benefits of the industry are starting to challenge their employers' role in carrying out the Trump administration's policies -- and losing their jobs as a result. \n\nThese tech labor struggles are at the cutting edge of labor and employment law, posing challenging questions for workers' rights advocates: How do you organize employees who never meet? Can you bargain over the ethics of your work? And what role can employment and labor lawyers play in protecting workers in the tech economy?\n\nJoin the ACS Bay Area Lawyer Chapter and the ACS UC Hastings College of the Law Student Chapter for an expert panel discussion on these issues and more. \n\nFeaturing: \nLaurence Berland, Activist and Software Engineer\nVeena Dubal, Associate Professor of Law, UC Hastings College of the Law\nSam Heft-Luthy, Tech Worker and Writer\nNitasha Tiku, Tech Culture Writer, The Washington Post\nJon Wong, Gig Worker, Caviar and Doordash; Social Justice Organizer\n\nModerated By: \n\nZoe Palitz, Partner, Altshuler Berzon LLP\n \n \nAs the nation's leading progressive legal organization, ACS is committed to ensuring that all aspects of our events are accessible and enjoyable for all.
