My feature in new @BW: How the American Worker Got Fleeced https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2020-the-fleecing-of-the-american-worker/ It's about a lot of what I've spent the past months/years covering:failed labor law, fissured work, the despotic U.S. workplace, & how the pandemic has brought things to a head, & offers an opening
This is a story about how warehouse, software, home-care, fast food, office, janitorial, medical, manufacturing and other workers are grappling -before & during Covid- with a legal regime that excluded some of them and made others a promise it hasn't kept https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2020-the-fleecing-of-the-american-worker/
It's about ferocious resistance, political defeat, hamstrung enforcement, abandoned tactics, intentional sabotage, judicial inventions, bigotry, narrowness, technological and economic transformations, and how they shaped each other. https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2020-the-fleecing-of-the-american-worker/ @BW
We're also telling the story via data & graphics led by my colleague Christopher Cannon, including crunching 20 years of client disclosures by labor relations consultants hired to "persuade" workers out of unionizing or keep tabs on them during disputes https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2020-the-fleecing-of-the-american-worker/
