A long-time activist in the trade union movement, Katy is the former Berkeley campus Chair of the UAW 2865 , the University of California labor union which represents 13,000 graduate student teaching assistants from across the state of California. She will be discussing UAW 2865 ’s vision of left-wing political unionism and grassroots union democracy.
