Government regulations are often characterized as burdensome and bad for business, but they have been undeniably good for working people. Work today is safer, more equitable, and more fairly compensated than it was when we lacked these rules.

As a former member of the WaPo editorial board (Dec 2021 to Sept 2024), I was stunned by the news today not to endorse.

I am one of 10 Post columnists (so far) who signed this joint statement tonight:

“The Washington Post’s decision not to make an endorsement in the presidential campaign is a terrible mistake. It represents an abandonment of the fundamental editorial convictions of the newspaper that we love…”

I'm happy to be a part of this.
Hope folks will leave here and find me at BlueSky @maureenc.bsky.social

"Some of them are working, just not in their chosen professions." That's the key point--there are plenty of jobs, but not very many #goodjobs

Trump’s claim that he would exempt overtime from taxes is deeply unserious. This policy would be incredibly easy to game. How? 1/

[Heidi Shierholz @hshierholz]

Employers could (and would) easily switch salaried, overtime-ineligible workers to hourly—and set the hourly wage so that, with overtime, they are paying no more than they paid before—and allow their workers to get the tax cut. 2/

.@conway_maureen "Work isn't working for people all across the United States. It's not working for the food workers who can't afford food ... hard work isn't fulfilling the promise of a decent life & it's going to take the efforts of many to turn things around" #JobQuality

Today, @CLJEHarvard launched “Building Worker Power in Cities and States,” a policy toolkit for state and local action. The exciting policy ideas highlighted in the toolkit serve as a testament to the innovative spirit and energy in the labor movement. https://t.co/nZcs4sOBJh

The hardest jobs are often the lowest paid jobs.

For example:
➡️ Childcare Workers
➡️ Housekeepers
➡️ Home Health Aides
➡️ Personal Care Aides
➡️ Farmworkers

Appropriations @HouseDemocrats led by @rosadelauro kept this loophole for deadly workplaces out of the DOL spending bill for several years, but Republicans in the Senate kept adding it back. https://t.co/EgQqgmJs7E

UPS driver in Texas passes out while driving un-air conditioned truck, due to heat illness, veers into oncoming lane and crashes into a tree.
Heat can kill, but not just from heat stroke. It can cause other potentially deadly workplace incidents as well. https://t.co/J76rBV8WBe
