5. In Michigan, DC, and Portland, Maine, @onefairwage is fighting to end the subminimum wage for tipped workers, which still stands at just $2.13/hr. From there, they'll take the battle to even more states

I spent the summer meeting with organizers around the country who are fighting to build an equitable economy.
We've rounded up 5 labor fights to watch across the country, w/ @johnjoanino. #HotLaborSummer

4. Nursing home workers in LA are organizing to improve working conditions and patient care: when workers don’t need to worry about how they’re going to put food on the table, they can better focus on the care they provide when on the clock @QualityCareC https://t.co/JSJHDYgKf2
Amazing @NewYorker profile of my dear friend Eddy Zheng. Immensely proud of everything @EddyNewBreath has done, and proud to be part of his story. I led a campaign for his release from prison+deportation for 10+ years. Now he's the leader we said he'd be.

Tuned in to @AspenInstitute Toward Universal Work-Related Benefits panel. @anmol kicked it off noting 40yr decline in Job Quality w/ need to re-imagine 'future' of work' from what jobs we will need to do in the future to what do we want jobs to do for workers in the future.
.@anmol: policy choices and workers organizing (unionization or other collective action) have the power of changing bad jobs into #goodjobs (it happened with manufacturing) #AspenFSPLive
.@anmol: the crisis of worker financial security will not be solved by skills & training alone; we must focus on upgrading jobs and their quality, and not simply ask workers to upgrade themselves. #AspenFSPLive
One of the most perceptive students of future-of-work policies, politics, and organizations that I've met on my journey... watch for @anmol.
Not to mention kind.
And -- sometimes -- funny. Sometimes, Anmol.
I’ve been thrilled to help develop an ambitious agenda on economic equity in California. The #CAFutureOfWork Commission issued its call for a new social compact [1/4]
The effects of tech change + automation are not inevitable or predetermined. We can shape how they play out through policy, and ensure that these changes lead to better jobs and economic equity, rather than driving down job quality #CAFutureOfWork [3/4]
