OV E RV IE WEMPLOYMENT AND LABOR LAW IN THE NEW ECONOMYGovernment policy most directly affects work and workers through employment and labor laws thatregulate the individual workplace and the labor market as a whole, as well as through the frameworkfor capitalism that is established through regulation. Labor laws set the floor when it comes to wages,hours, basic safety net provisions such as paid sick leave, health and safety standards, protection fromretaliation, and the power of the state to enforce these fundamental standards. Labor law also governshow workers can organize and bargain collectively over pay and working conditions. Employment lawcovers various conditions of the workplace, including prohibitions on harassment, discrimination andabuse as well as training requirements for managers and supervisors to prevent violations.Our current system of employment and labor law waslargely developed in the 1930s and 1940s for an erawith a different industrial and occupational structure.The transformation of work through innovations intechnology and other practices points to the need to adaptemployment and labor law to match the realities of worktoday and to anticipate the impact of technology and thefundamental organization of work in the future.The success of employers and the economy as a wholerests on a stable, skilled and secure workforce. The Futureof Work Commission has been challenged to considerthe role of employers in addition to unions, workers,and government in creating and protecting safe and fairworkplaces as well as supporting forms of work that couldprovide meaningful flexibility for workers. Importantly,a number of corporate leaders and large employers arereassessing their role and responsibility to their employees,as well as other stakeholders, and looking beyondshareholder value in setting their priorities and goals.Existing employment and labor laws are not wellenforced. Despite California’s strong scaffolding of workerprotections encoded in labor and employment law, existingpolicy is only as effective as its enforcement. Aggressiveand effective enforcement is often impeded by complexschemes designed to cover up violations, lack of trustin government, inadequate resources and ineffectiveapproaches to enforcement. Widespread violations ofemployment and labor law, most common and egregiousin low-wage industries, result in wage theft, abuses ofovertime laws, and unsafe working conditions that canresult in injury or death. The U.S. Department of Laborestimated in 2014 that the minimum wage law is violatedin California 372,000 times every week—that is, 1 in 8 lowwage workers being paid less than minimum wage.Employment and labor law do not actually cover allworkers in California, including agricultural and domesticworkers. Despite efforts to extend basic workplaceprotections to workers in these jobs, they are subject todangerous and precarious working conditions withoutthe protections afforded to other workers. The growth ofcontract work and decentralized work in recent decadeshas intensified, creating new challenges and opportunitiesfor worker organizing and unionization.Future of Work Commission Convening 55
EMPLOYMENT AND LABOR LAW IN THE NEW ECONOMYNew technologies enable new, unregulated forms ofworker surveillance. Technology enables companies tomonitor worker behavior across industries and workplaces,including productivity in warehouses, customer servicecenters and retail stores. Increasingly, white-collarworkplaces employ technology to monitor and collect dataon employees, and can even track movements through anoffice building, regulating speed of work and bathroom use,as an employee’s smartphone connects to different Wi-Firouters. Mining the data collected on employees couldeven predict or detect worker pregnancy, as reported bythe Wall Street Journal. Current employment law may notadequately cover new practices of worker surveillance thathave emerged or anticipate practices that will emerge in thecoming years.The use of data collected on employees raisessignificant equity issues, as algorithms are increasinglyused in hiring and managing workers. As algorithmsare increasingly used in hiring decisions and assessmentsof skills for setting wages and determining promotionalopportunities, the potential for algorithmic bias could leadto discrimination against specific groups. Since algorithmicdecision-making largely reproduces past behavior bydesign, it can also reproduce gender and racial disparitiescreated by past discrimination. The much less transparentprocesses of hiring and managing by algorithms mayrequire updated regulations and protections that are suitedfor these practices. Data collection on worker behaviorleads to many other questions around the use, value,threats and opportunities of such data. Who owns the vastamounts of data collected on employees, how it is used,who benefits from it, how it is monetized, and the level oftransparency related to its collection are all challenges inthe future of work.6Institute for the FutureArtificial intelligence and algorithm-based work requirean enormous amount of work by humans that oftengoes unseen. While artificial intelligence has the potentialto transform thousands of jobs and tasks, AI has to be“trained” with existing data and decisions and judgmentsthat are made by human workers, who are also neededto label, tag, and organize data. Much of this work,described as “automation’s last mile,” is broken downinto components and farmed out as piecework for ondemand gig workers. On social media platforms, contentmoderation is generally contracted out to a low-wageworkforce that are not direct employees of the social mediacompanies, raising issues of job quality and the intersectionof automation and human well-being. The growth of thiswork may require new policies to ensure transparency, fairwork conditions, and job quality.Some large employers are articulating an expandedrole of corporations beyond shareholder interests. Theprimacy of shareholder interests—which holds that theonly responsibility of business is to maximize profits—hasbeen deeply entrenched for decades, partly underlying anemphasis on minimizing labor costs as serving the interestsof shareholders. A group of large employers, the BusinessRoundtable, is promoting a new framework that prioritizesmultiple stakeholders, including employees, customers,suppliers and communities. In California, large firms withmore than 1,000 employees employ 15% of all workers inthe state.
FUTURCOE OF WORKM MIS SIO NABOUT THE CONVENINGSOME QUESTIONS TO CONSIDERThe fifth convening of the Future of Work Commissiontakes place in San Diego, one of the state’s largest metroareas and labor markets. The Commission will hearfrom external experts in the morning, and the afternoonwill be dedicated to substantive discussion amongCommissioners.1. W hat changes to existing law should be made or whatnew laws need to be in place to address shortcomings inexisting labor and employment law to ensure workers areprotected and have a voice in the workplace?The convening will begin with a panel on issues relatedto data in the workplace. Mary Gray (Microsoft Research)will draw on her extensive research on the workforce thatperforms much of the data work that powers the onlineeconomy. Ifeoma Ajunwa (Cornell University) and PaulineKim (Washington University) will provide perspectives onthe limitations of current employment law as it relates to thecollection of data on employees and its use by employers.This will be followed by a session on the current system oflabor law and its shortcomings with Sharon Block (HarvardLaw School), who is leading the Clean Slate Project, amajor effort to reform labor law in the U.S.Building on the session at the previous convening inDecember with small businesses, the Commission willthen have a conversation with Dane Linn (BusinessRoundtable) on the purpose of corporations in today’seconomy, from the perspective of large employers. Theperspectives of different types of employers is critical tothe Commission’s success in developing effective crosssector recommendations. In the afternoon, the Commissionwill continue its work on defining and developing a sharedunderstanding of the scope of the Commission’s work andbegin considering proposed solutions.2. S hould California implement a comprehensive policy onhow data is collected and used by employers, similarto the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR),which governs the use of consumer data?3. W hat strategies or policies could encourage largeemployers to pursue a broader set of stakeholderinterests and discourage a singular focus onshareholder interests?4. W hat strategies or policies could support small- andmedium-sized employers who want to pursue a broaderset of stakeholder interests but are limited by fiercecompetition with larger companies and low marginsas a result?SELECTED RESOURCESCasey Newton. “The Secret Lives of Facebook Moderatorsin America.” The Verge.
