EPI's Lynn Rhinehart on Sectoral Bargaining and the Path Forward

EPI Senior Fellow Lynn Rhinehart discusses sectoral bargaining — a model common across most of Europe that sets wages and working conditions for entire industries regardless of whether individual workplaces are organized — the Machinists and SEIU-led initiative establishing state-level collective bargaining for rideshare drivers in Massachusetts, Illinois and California, why wage boards help workers but are not a substitute for unions, the risks of lifting federal preemption broadly and why union support being more than 20 points higher than when labor law was last seriously debated makes now the right moment to organize for reform.
