Next Wave Organizing Symposium
This issue examines how workers organize in the twenty-first century and how new tools and techniques can be harnessed to improve labor organizing. It features articles presented at a live symposium that took place at New York Law School in January 2005, as well as the stories of several labor organizations that are using innovative techniques to serve the legal needs of various constituencies. The symposium was organized by New York Law School’s Justice Action Center, Institute for Information Law and Policy, and Labor and Employment Law Program.
