Tech’s Shadow Workforce: Revealing Disparities in Contract Work
This event took place on June 24, 2021.
For too long, the tech industry has been powered by an unseen, underpaid, and under-protected workforce. It’s time to reveal this power imbalance and close the equity gap.
On Thursday, June 24th at 12pm PT/3pm ET, we’ll be exploring the working conditions of contract workers across the tech industry, how inequities are baked into the contracting structure, and what public and corporate policies can be built to protect this growing set of workers. We’ll share insights from our original research and hear firsthand experiences from contract workers in tech. Join us to learn how you can uplift your contracted coworkers.
The webinar will be moderated by Sam Gordon, SVP of Organizing and Advocacy at TechEquity. Panelist include:
- Hannah Holloway, Senior Policy Manager at TechEquity
- Chang Fuerte, Former Contract Worker
- Rachel Williams Dempsey, Associate at Outten & Golden
Agenda:
- Webinar kicks off at 12:00 PM
- Panel discussion begins at 12:05 PM
- Q&A from attendees from 12:45-1:00 PM
