On Thursday, 8 Sept. 2022 (10-2 ET / 4-6 GMT+2), our 2nd annual virtual labor law forum is co-sponsored by the African Labour Law Society (ALLS africanlabourlaw.org) and will focus on Constructing and Deconstructing Racism: Tales of Work and Life in Virginia, the U.S., Europe, and South Africa. The panel will begin with the construction of Jim Crow labor laws in colonial Virginia, move to the adoption of US Civil Rights style strategies by Roma in the EU, continue through workplace race discrimination in post-apartheid modern South Africa, and end with the legacy of U.S. slavery in the modern U.S. workplace.
