The Olympics pose monumental risks to everyone unfortunate enough to be in their orbit, and this is true especially for workers – from the workers who help make the games happen (construction, service industry, volunteers) to the athletes themselves. Labor exploitation and the Olympics are synonymous, and @nolympicsla has charted this history of rampant harm – everything from wage theft to psychological, emotional, and sexual abuse – in the modern Olympics, even the beloved 1984 games. This week NOlympics LA is joined by members of the @dsa_la Labor and Healthcare committees to explore how the Olympics are always sold as being “good for labor,” while the receipts show the reality couldn’t be further from the truth.
