Post-pandemic "remodeling" complete, and the new Zinnia is open for business. Collective bargaining agreement expires soon & needs to be re-negotiated. Teaching notes available.

@dundon_tony @Raecooper1 @PeetzDavid @nowak_paul @SIPTU @activedan In a quick convenience sampling of local contracts, only short breaks (15 min) are paid. Lunch breaks are not. The only gain over state law seems to be (unpaid) lunch being 30 min instead of legal mandate of 20. You can ask NYC servers during (I)LERA this summer.

A nice summary of what the MN task force on ride share drivers achieved and moreso failed to achieve. The first three months rhetoric of "we're here to find solutions" disappeared in the last two weeks.

'"If the syllabus had simply gone away, educators could mourn its loss and move on. Instead, the document persists as the bloated corpse of what it used to be, and also as a ghost haunting the distributed, corporate information systems that have slowly replaced it."

The college syllabus has been vanquished, replaced by software and fine print, @ibogost writes. https://t.co/BmdfwoqgLj

@Raecooper1 Tying papers together can be nice but not all sessions are conducive to this. And we shouldn’t be expected to provide deep comments if authors don’t give papers far enough in advance.

[John Budd @JohnWBudd]

@Raecooper1 A good discussant can add a lot to a session. But it’s another element of free unrewarded labor. So junior scholars especially shouldn’t be expected to do too much. Say something complimentary if possible, plus some constructive suggestions for improvement.

[John Budd @JohnWBudd]

@SimmsMelanie Reminds me of IR lit on difficulty of importing practices & public policies. Our system also includes an incidentals per diem. So pieces fit together & need all of them to be a coherent whole. But I'm not meaning to defend our ever expanding tipping culture.

[John Budd @JohnWBudd]

Such sad news. Bill's intellectual leadership was fully evident at the just-concluded #LERA annual meeting for which he was program chair, and he would have made such a wonderful LERA president. His open letter on race & economics is a must-read.

We are extraordinarily saddened to report AFL-CIO Chief Economist Bill Spriggs @WSpriggs passed away peacefully last night.

His work has impacted a generation of economics and workers around the world and his legacy will live on for lifetimes to come.

StarTribune says departing U of Minnesota president cites its governance systems as 1 attraction of Pitt. Pitt faculty are unionized=a preference for unionized governance? Though after nearly 18 months, Pitt hasn't agreed to a contract with @PittFacUnion. https://t.co/ShVNbs1bJp

Someone should make a labor testimony bingo card. I'm sure we'll hear all the predictable phrases

[Josh Eidelson @josheidelson]

New: At hearing before Bernie Sanders’ HELP committee starting shortly, Howard Schultz will testify that Starbucks prefers a “direct relationship” with staff but “is committed to engaging in good faith collective bargaining for each store that has a union” https://t.co/2KYNSlPQS1

[John Budd @JohnWBudd]

Funny how four of the first 8 items in the university's FAQ mention union dues.

@gracabi over-stepped (e.g., a sit-down strike)? Or does that miss the point in that a textual read would be mostly about constraining employers because the NLRA is about workers rights? Or is my legal ignorance shining through?

[John Budd @JohnWBudd]

@gracabi A stimulating read. I wonder whether handling the NLRA is fundamentally more difficult than some of the comparisons (e.g., FLSA) because it's providing rights for behaviors rather than outcomes? Also, would a balancing remedies approach put workers at risk of penalties if they

[John Budd @JohnWBudd]

A stark contrast showing the importance of one's sampling frame, and highlighting the big gap that @ILRLaborAction is filling.

Without knowing it, Corbin Burnes gives the perfect explanation of my paper with @aaronsojourner where we find that arbitration doesn't affect on-field performance but increases chances of break-up.
