Clean Slate for Worker Power

Building a new labor law that empowers workers to demand an equitable economy and democracy. A project of @CLJEHarvard.

[Clean Slate for Worker Power @WorkerPowerLaw]

Our government no longer responds to the views of anyone but the wealthy.

We have a plan to build worker power wherever corporate power impacts workers’ lives — in the workplace, across industries, in the boardroom and at the ballot box. Learn more: https://t.co/3z8cDyxizY

Member Scholar @sharblock of @Harvard_Law highlights a crucial issue: the penalties under the NLRA haven't evolved since its enactment, only remedies exist. Changes in interpretations have weakened remedies over time. More on this via @capitalandmain.

A new report from @CLJEHarvard/@WorkerPowerLaw, written by @susanlmarquis: “With WSR, workers define and claim their human rights to fair pay, freedom from abuse, safe working conditions, and dignity due to all who work hard."

@equitablegrowth Check out our Clean Slate report, in which we outline policy recommendations for protecting workers' right to collective bargaining and building power here: https://t.co/BVhId2Gvlo

[Clean Slate for Worker Power @WorkerPowerLaw]

Excellent thread from @EquitableGrowth on understanding what the impact of the Glacier decision could look like in the context of a series of legal shifts that have undermined the power strikes.

[Equitable Growth @equitablegrowth]

Yesterday’s Supreme Court decision in Glacier Northwest, Inc. v. International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 174 represents yet another blow to worker power in the United States. 🧵

[Equitable Growth @equitablegrowth]

So how can the power of unions and strikes be restored? We need institutions and policies, such as those developed by @WorkerPowerLaw, that in protecting and promoting workers’ ability to bargain collectively will also help build a more equitable economy. https://t.co/S5IvBVFRc4
