The C.O.W.S. Neutralizing Workplace Racism 02/05/21

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly forum on Neutralizing Workplace Racism. We’ll continue to adapt to how the coronavirus is disrupting the work environment. New reports detail whether employers can require workers to take a covid-19 vaccine. Whether you choose to accept or decline the vaccine, get lots of information about what your job requires and how they are working to ensure employee safety. The health pandemic and political upheaval have caused an increase in violent acts in the U.S. We’ll emphasize checking your company’s policy and procedure regarding workplace harassment and violence. It’s the beginning of Black History Month in the U.S. Often, this results in a number of tacky activities in the workplace (fried chicken and watermelon buffets and the like). Gus would advise that black people refrain from participating or requesting that your place of employment does anything in to mark this occasion.
