For the 52nd anniversary of the Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade, join Power At Work to reconfirm the importance of access to reproductive health care and how unions can be a strengthening tool for this issue. Also hear Anschutz’s insights at the front line in this fight for women’s bodily autonomy, along with Hirsch’s knowledge of the worker’s rights to bargain and how that is relevant in this fight.
