Workers' Rights in a Changing Economy

摘要
In an era where corporations are increasingly claiming to work in the interests of all stakeholders, workers’ rights to fair wages, benefits and treatment are in a tenuous position. Just 10% of U.S. workers are represented by a union, a 50% decrease since 1983. In California, the passage of Proposition 22 enables Uber, Lyft, Doordash and other gig companies to continue to avoid classifying their workers as employees. Even at colleges and universities, subcontractors may not receive pay continuation, may not receive hazard pay, and may lack access to COVID testing resources.
On January 28, 2021, the Corporations and Society Initiative hosted a panel discussion about workers’ rights and corporations’ responsibility to their workers with Carlos Ramos, a Bay Area-based Lyft driver and organizer with Gig Workers Rising; Palak Shah, Founding Director of NDWA Labs and Social Innovations Director, National Domestic Workers Alliance; and Wilneida Negrón, Director of Policy and Research at Coworker.org.
