A nice summary of what the MN task force on ride share drivers achieved and moreso failed to achieve. The first three months rhetoric of "we're here to find solutions" disappeared in the last two weeks.

'"If the syllabus had simply gone away, educators could mourn its loss and move on. Instead, the document persists as the bloated corpse of what it used to be, and also as a ghost haunting the distributed, corporate information systems that have slowly replaced it."
The college syllabus has been vanquished, replaced by software and fine print, @ibogost writes. theatlantic.com/technology/a…

Such sad news. Bill's intellectual leadership was fully evident at the just-concluded #LERA annual meeting for which he was program chair, and he would have made such a wonderful LERA president. His open letter on race & economics is a must-read.

We are extraordinarily saddened to report AFL-CIO Chief Economist Bill Spriggs @WSpriggs passed away peacefully last night.
His work has impacted a generation of economics and workers around the world and his legacy will live on for lifetimes to come.

StarTribune says departing U of Minnesota president cites its governance systems as 1 attraction of Pitt. Pitt faculty are unionized=a preference for unionized governance? Though after nearly 18 months, Pitt hasn't agreed to a contract with @PittFacUnion. startribune.com/university-o…
Someone should make a labor testimony bingo card. I'm sure we'll hear all the predictable phrases
New: At hearing before Bernie Sanders’ HELP committee starting shortly, Howard Schultz will testify that Starbucks prefers a “direct relationship” with staff but “is committed to engaging in good faith collective bargaining for each store that has a union” bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

A stark contrast showing the importance of one's sampling frame, and highlighting the big gap that @ILRLaborAction is filling.
Without knowing it, Corbin Burnes gives the perfect explanation of my paper with @aaronsojourner where we find that arbitration doesn't affect on-field performance but increases chances of break-up.

I guess I haven't read some parts of the teaching notes in a while. I just spotted a mention of using "an overhead transparency".
