I'm excited for the support from @equitablegrowth & @RussellSageFdn! With @JakeRosenfeld1 & Jennifer Laird, we're fielding a survey to look at public sector union strength in the wake of SCOTUS's Janus v. AFSCME decision.
@WesternuSOC @westernuSocSci @VPRWesternU @WesternU
Out of fear of reprisal or just social convention, not discussing salary has been the status quo. But in recent years, a push to pay transparency has become increasingly popular.
@JakeRosenfeld1, @MichaelMOswalt, and @PatrickADenice explain. #longreads⇩

1/2 In the past decade, over a dozen states have banned employers from retaliating against workers who discuss pay.
How are these laws working? As we conclude in @BusinessInsider, not well.
https://t.co/h7553hPOrL
What’s more - workers generally support their employer's secrecy rules.
But workers are also open to greater transparency: 85% of those whose bosses allow them to discuss pay support this more transparent approach.

In a piece at @BusinessInsider, we ask whether state laws that prohibit employers from punishing workers who talk about their pay are working.
It turns out, not so much. Many workplaces continue to discourage or sanction pay talk.

Are we in this together? Not if you live in a low-income neighbourhood. Research shows the spread of COVID-19 in Toronto, Canada in 2020 varied by neighbourhood income. Find out more here: https://t.co/H2tqtOh18o @KateHeeChoi @PatrickADenice
