*Dr. Joan Braune (Mount Mary University) will speak on Catholic teaching on labor, focusing on Pope John Paul II’s encyclical “On Human Work,” which outlined a theory of the “priority of labor over capital,” asserted the value of union membership, and defended the rights to employment, a living wage, and dignified working conditions.
*Lauro Bonilla (United Electrical Workers regional and national board, Voces de la Frontera, San Rafael parish) will speak on the struggles of immigrant workers in Milwaukee, union organizing, and workers’ struggles for a living wage.
This event is part of the “Month for Human Dignity: Care for All” May forum series of the east-side Milwaukee Catholic parishes. Fr. Michael Michalski will give our opening invocation.
