#CornellILR's @ianithacagreer.bsky.social provided context on unionization challenges facing the U.A.W. in the South in this @nytimes.com article: “The footprint has shifted from Michigan southward,” said Greer, who researches labor relations. “It’s a very challenging environment for the U.A.W.”

Latest on unemployment insurance in NY State. James Parrott on how workers will get an increase in benefits, employers will get a bailout, and the UI boat will still leak -- www.centernyc.org/urban-matter....

Albany Bails Out Our Unemployment Insurance Boat. Guess What? It Still Leaks. — Center for New York City Affairs
The good news: Benefits will go up from disgracefully low levels. The bad news: The system’s underlying finances remain insecure and unfair.

Fixing unemployment insurance in US states can feel Sisyphean at times. But maybe this year New York State will get serious about fixing its inadequate and regressive tax structure, which has led to a freeze in benefits levels since 2019. Here's my op ed -- www.timesunion.com/opinion/arti....

Commentary: New York must get serious about fixing Unemployment Insurance
Proposals being floated by state leaders do nothing to tackle the root causes of the system’s insolvency and would soon lead to more debt.

Worker misclassification is costing law abiding employers many millions and making it very difficult for workers to get unemployment benefits. See the short video by my @cornellilr.bsky.social students, and learn about proposed legislation in NY State to fix it! www.ilr.cornell.edu/ithaca-co-la...

English followers: If you’re curious why the new US government is composed of authoritarians, anti-vaccinationists, and libertarians who spread conspiracy theories—and how this relates to late-modern individualization—then this book might be of interest to you.
