This has led to economic precarity for workers which, in turn, threatens their health and well-being. This conference is designed to describe the changes in employment and the consequences for worker health as well as nascent attempts to mitigate the effects of these changes through labor activism within and beyond individual workplaces and firms and responsive public policy.
