📖 Excited to see my article “DEI: Son of Deference” in print in the Berkeley Journal of Employment & Labor Law!
The idea first took shape at COSELL two years ago, thanks to the great feedback there, it’s now fully developed and published.

Summer vacation is here, but I'm always happy to chat with any Cornell ILR or Cornell Law students about the recent crisis in the Middle East, part of a series of seemingly never-ending nested crises, and their effects on campus.

The continued lack of a functional federal labor law must lead to the empowerment of states' labor laws. 19 states already have on their books private sector labor laws, almost all include a commitment to labor peace via structured labor relations framework.

It's great to be back at Harvard Law to discuss the future of the NLRA. After stoking a little fear (hopefully in writing soon), my constructive pitch: labor should go to the states, the sooner, the better.

Did you know that about 19 states have *private* sector, general-facing labor laws? Might come in handy in the case of, I don't know, collapse of the federal NLRA.
Check out my new working paper. Tell me what you think!

Really enjoyed talking at this symposium about labor protest, ILR Labor Action Tracker, and what the future might hold for labor law and organizing.
Columbia Law Review is the only law review on the strike tracker (so far) so, cool!
