Millions of workers say they want a union. The law makes it too hard to get one. Most of Europe has a model that sets wages for entire industries at once, covering every worker, whether or not their individual workplace is organized. Three US states are already trying a version of it for rideshare drivers. And an EPI senior fellow says the conditions for winning real labor law reform are better right now than they have been in decades.
On today's episode of America's Work Force Union Podcast, EPI Senior Fellow Lynn Rhinehart discusses sectoral bargaining, what Massachusetts, Illinois and California are doing for Uber and Lyft drivers through a Machinists and SEIU-led initiative, why wage boards are useful but not a substitute for unions, the two-edged problem with lifting federal preemption and why the moment to organize for labor law reform is now.
