Outrageous child labor violations found by @WHD_DOL at PSSI: "Initial evidence indicates the company may also employ more kids under similar conditions at 400 other sites across the country." This is #fissuring at its worst. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/foo… via @nbcnews

Fissuring explained: The companies using PSSI are some of the biggest meatpackers in the US (JBS USA; Turkey Valley Farms) who profess no tolerance for child labor. Yet children under 16 were cleaning up their killing floors. @jbarab @DebbieBerkowitz

The contractor, Packers Sanitation Services, had children, some as young as 13 "...cleaning kill floors, meat- and bone-cutting saws, grinding machines and electric knives."

Folks: This is a stunning report that indicates how technology (doorbell cameras) are used as a means of monitoring and supervision. Result is #fissuring on steroids: control gigified work. A must read. @datasociety

Folks: A fair and equitable society requires accommodations as a core part of disability policy (remember the #ADA?). John Fetterman's use of captioning is an example of that. washingtonpost.com/wellness/… @LurieInstitute @TheHellerSchool

Proposed @USDOL rule on who is an employee brings that definition back to where it should be: based on #FLSA law and how the @WHD_DOL and courts have been interpreting it for decades. Workers deserve the broad protections of our basic labor standards. nytimes.com/2022/10/11/busin…

Massachusetts needs a strong Attorney General to fight for working people. I am proud to endorse Shannon Liss-Riordan who has a career of fighting and winning on their behalf. I urge you to cast your ballot for her by September 6th! bit.ly/3CLRtLh @ShannonForAG

Folks: We have long known that labor market power is tipped towards employers. That's why labor and workplace laws and unions are essential. politi.co/3Ckjnhd via @politico

Role model interpretations of same-race match effects have always rubbed me the wrong way, but I couldn't pinpoint why. Then this brilliant scholar (follow @lavaredmonds now!) came along and gave us one very important reason why. As @TrevonDLogan so eloquently put it... 1/2

Folks: Certain platform companies built their biz models by ignoring the law. Then they went state by state writing them. Now they are busy in Congress w/ Worker Flexibility & Choice Act to undo the FLSA. Read up. @NELPaction @EconomicPolicy thetruthaboutcwi.com/

Workforce Flexibility and Choice Act is a trojan horse that would undermine basic worker protections. It’s being pushed by big companies (#TruthAboutCWI) who falsely argue you can’t have flexibility and worker protections. That’s just nonsense. @NELPaction @powerswitchact
