SAG-AFTRA is celebrating the upcoming Labor Day weekend with a podcast featuring Liz Shuler, president of the 12.5 million-member AFL-CIO, which represents 57 affiliated unions, including SAG-AFTRA…
“And I think in every industry, where there’s workers and management,” Crabtree-Ireland said, “there’s always a need to balance out the power of management. And I don’t think anyone’s ever found a better or more effective way to do that than by workers acting collectively. And our members are workers, for sure. Anyone who’s been to a film or television set, or a broadcast newsroom or to a recording studio, definitely knows that.
“I know you’ve been quite active within SAG-AFTRA on these issues,” Shuler said. “And I know you have a committee within your union that’s really taking this on, feet first, as they say, and jumping in because technology has impacted your industry probably more than any industry.
Shuler also noted that the AFL-CIO has a Technology Institute to develop expertise on the future of work and how best to bring the labor movement together in dealing with emerging technologies. “So, we’re trying to leverage the power of labor to really shape technology and innovation for working people,” she told the SAG-AFTRA leaders. “I don’t need to tell you how the pandemic actually has accelerated the use of technologies at work.
“And so that’s where all this organizing is coming in that we’re seeing all across the country. Workers are finding their voice. They’re standing up. They’re taking risks. They’re going on strike. They’re leading walkouts and picket lines. And you know, also ‘quiet quitting,’ as we’ve read in the newspapers. So, I think it’s a moment in time. It’s an inflection point for the labor movement.
