This Labor Day, It’s Time for a New Social Contract With Workers

This Labor Day, Andrea Gordillo of Freelancers Union and Althea Erickson from the National Arts Policy Alliance advocate for a new social contract. They argue that the American system must evolve to support independent work, suggesting that benefits should follow workers across various jobs and clients instead of relying on a single employer. Simultaneously, workers in Michigan are demanding increased power and respect in the workplace as part of their ongoing efforts to improve labor conditions.
