When Labor Becomes a Crime: The Construction Thought Experiment

This episode uses a thought experiment to apply common arguments for criminalizing sex work to the construction industry, showing how the same logic would make essential, dangerous labor disappear from view and become even more hazardous. Through examples like safety equipment being treated as evidence and the dangers of underground work, the episode argues that criminalization removes protections rather than eliminating risk, and calls for policies focused on worker safety, rights, and support.
