Enforcing America's Labor Laws with Seema Nanda
Manage episode 515361291 series 2778316
America’s labor laws promise fairness for workers and a level playing field for businesses, but promises mean little without enforcement. Underfunded agencies and administrative failures have allowed bad corporate actors to exploit employees unable to defend themselves.
Seema Nanda, the Solicitor of Labor for the Biden administration, joins Oren to discuss why labor enforcement has fallen into crisis and how immigration policy further complicates the landscape. They explore what it takes to hold employers accountable, why strong enforcement is essential for the economy, and how to credibly rebuild America’s protections for workers.
