Who Actually Owns Your Labor? The Truth About the New Economy
Episode 106
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
The economy is growing, productivity is rising, and corporate profits are flowing—but workers are receiving a smaller share of the wealth they create. This segment examines the rise of the “disposable workforce,” declining worker bargaining power, and the growing disconnect between productivity, wages, and economic security.
We also look at AI and automation, the future of unions and collective bargaining, and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s new Office of Worker Power. The question isn't whether technology will change work. It’s who gets to decide what that change looks like, and who gets the benefits.
