Episode 291: Independent Contractors Make Gains Toward Right to Organize

This week, a number of states and localities across the country held local elections and the results, while difficult from which to draw national meaning, seem to be slightly better news for the blue team than the red. We’ll take a look at that. And we continue to watch third-party contractors from big companies like Google and Amazon make progress toward potential union organizing. Could companies a little closer to home like DoorDash and UberEasts be next? We are joined by Bloomberg Labor Report’s Dan Papscun who has done extensive reporting in this space and discuss what the future may look like for traditional employers. We’ll discuss those issues and wrap it up with the legislative scorecard.
