Migrant workers, especially indebted ones, are highly vulnerable to forced labor exploitation in the host country. Wang v.

The NFL’s longstanding failure to hire non-white candidates into key coaching and executive positions has been well-documented, but a new ESPN analysis reveals much of the same lack of progress in college football. It was merely 1979 when Willie Jeffries became the first Black head coach hired to lead a Division I-A (now FBS, Football […]

The Editorial Board of the New York Daily News yesterday drew attention to what has been a repeated “pilgrimage” in a stymied search for equal rights and fair treatment: the yearly trip of “some of New York State’s 100,000 field hands to the Capitol” to ask for rights to overtime pay, an unpaid weekly day […]

Law. Workers. Organizing.

OnLabor is a blog devoted to workers, unions, and their politics. We interpret our subject broadly to include the current crisis in the traditional union movement (why union decline is happening and what it means for our society); the new and contested forms of worker organization that are filling the labor union gap; how work ought to be structured and managed; how workers ought to be represented and compensated; and the appropriate role of government — all three branches — in each of these issues.
