As @michaelsjoel notes, even good laws don't implement themselves: Inflation Reduction Act incentives for quality and green jobs require that recipients follow through and requires resources and effective engagement to work. Read more here! prospect.org/environment/wi… @TheProspect

Fissuring explained: The companies using PSSI are some of the biggest meatpackers in the US (JBS USA; Turkey Valley Farms) who profess no tolerance for child labor. Yet children under 16 were cleaning up their killing floors. @jbarab @DebbieBerkowitz

@noamscheiber Exactly. And I'm sure JBS who hired Packers-and one of the largest meatpackers in the world-will say they were shocked that their contractor hired 13 year-old children to clean their killing floors. Implausible deniability.

The contractor, Packers Sanitation Services, had children, some as young as 13 "...cleaning kill floors, meat- and bone-cutting saws, grinding machines and electric knives."

Folks: This is a stunning report that indicates how technology (doorbell cameras) are used as a means of monitoring and supervision. Result is #fissuring on steroids: control + gigified work. A must read. @datasociety

Proposed @USDOL rule on who is an employee brings that definition back to where it should be: based on #FLSA law and how the @WHD_DOL and courts have been interpreting it for decades. Workers deserve the broad protections of our basic labor standards. nytimes.com/2022/10/11/bus…

Massachusetts needs a strong Attorney General to fight for working people. I am proud to endorse Shannon Liss-Riordan who has a career of fighting and winning on their behalf. I urge you to cast your ballot for her by September 6th! bit.ly/3CLRtLh @ShannonForAG
