FIGHTING FOR THE COMMON GOOD: HOW LOW-WAGE WORKERS' IDENTITIES ARE SHAPING LABOR LAW |
126 Yale Law Journal Forum 503 (April 19, 2017) |
Social movements led by workers in low-wage industries, from fast food to car washes to nursing homes, have upended the public narrative of who poor workers are and what they deserve both at work and at home. By doing so, these movements have won victories that were once considered unrealistic and doomed. As a result of the Fight for $15's... |

In its recent opinion in Commonwealth v.

In 2016, the United States Supreme Court decided that the prosecutors in Foster v. Chatman exercised race-based peremptory challenges in violation of Batson v. Kentucky.

Since 2010, advocates on the right and left have increasingly allied to denounce mass incarceration and propose serious reductions in the use of prisons.
