Black workers in San Diego and across the country face higher rates of unemployment, are paid lower wages for the same work and are overrepresented in essential work. Systemic racism and labor discrimination has created these outcomes and has meant that Black families are among the most impacted by the pandemic and economic recessions.
On February 23 at 12pm our panel discussed systemic racism and labor, the current reality for Black workers in San Diego, ways we can support Black worker organizing like the new San Diego Black Worker Center.
We were joined by the following expert panelists:
Member Political Organizer Chair at SEIU Local 221 and Protective Services Worker at SD County Child Welfare Services
Civic Engagement Manager at UDW and Lead Coordinator of the San Diego Black Worker Center
Black Studies Professor
Director of Program Development and Outreach at the San Diego & Imperial Counties Labor Council
