Labor's New Playbook: From VA to Uber
Description
Workers are finding new ways to fight back—and the latest battles show just how much the American labor movement is changing.
In this segment, we look at a federal judge blocking the VA for the third time from terminating its union contracts with AFGE, the growing push to unionize Uber and Lyft drivers in California and Illinois, and what these new forms of collective bargaining could mean for the future of gig work.
We also examine the latest jobs data and the emerging “deportation economy”—and why removing immigrant workers isn't necessarily creating more opportunities for U.S.-born workers.
