Abstract
The panelists of this session recently completed a co-authored book “Will Work For Food: Labor across the Food Chain,” which looks at labor across the food chain, exploring at the intersections between social movements in United States food systems and labor organizing. In this session, they discussed key issues raised in the book with key food system actors for whom these are pressing. They discussed the important role of labor justice in building a more sustainable and resilient food system. By engaging in both an intersectional approach and a food-systems framework, panelists explored the historical and present-day conditions, contexts, and forms of resistance that workers experience and contribute to in today’s food sector jobs. Attendees also heard from local worker organizers in the food system about their experiences working in the food system and what it means for food jobs to be good jobs.
