Back in the year 2000, when the Union Home Minister introduced the Bill in Parliament for the creation of the states of Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Uttarakhand, he solemnly announced that these states were being established so that the Indigenous Adivasi societies will be able to self-govern themselves as per their traditions and culture. It was also hoped that they would have a real say and a meaningful share in the mineral wealth being exploited in their land. However, what actually came to be was just the opposite. Multitudes of outsiders from neighbouring states poured in, took over all trade related and commercial activities, filled up most state government’s high and low bureaucracy, and the law-and-order forces became replete with unsympathetic non-Adivasis/Dalit. The giant corporate houses came marching in with full patronage of the central and state governments to plunder the natural and mineral wealth of predominantly Adivasi ethno-territories. The Indigenous people felt let down and cheated. Most of their own political leaders, instead of standing up for their cause, sold themselves off to power and money, some even joining hands with rightist Hindutva forces/parties to work directly against their own people.

Worker misclassification is a competition issue

If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this post to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/02/02/upward-redistribution/#bedoya

The brains behind Trump's stolen Supreme Court have detailed plans: they didn't just scheme to pack the court with judges who weren't qualified for – or entitled to – a SCOTUS life-tenure, they also set up a series of cases for that radical court to hear.

Obviously, Dobbs was the big one, but it's only part of a whole procession of trumped-up cases designed to give the court a chance to overturn decades of settled law and create zones of impunity for America's oligarchs and the monopolies that provide them with wealth and power.

One of these cases is Jarkesy, a case designed to allow SCOTUS to euthanize every agency in the US government, stripping them of their powers to fight corporate crime:

https://www.americanprogress.org/article/sec-v-jarkesy-the-threat-to-congressional-and-agency-authority/

The argument goes, "Congress had the power to spell out every possible problem an agency might deal with and to create a list of everything they were allowed to do about these problems. If they didn't, then the agency isn't allowed to act."

This is an Objectively Very Stupid argument, and it takes a heroic act of motivated reasoning to buy it. The whole point of expert agencies is that they're experts and that they might discover new problems in American life, and come up with productive ways of fixing them. If the only way for an agency to address a problem is to wait for Congress to notice it and pass a law about it, then we don't even need agencies – Congress can just be the regulator, as well as the lawmaker.

If there was any doubt that Congress created the agencies as flexible and adaptive hedges against new threats and problems, then the legislative history of the FTC Act should dispel it.

Congress created the FTC through the FTCA because the courts kept misinterpreting its existing antitrust laws, like the Sherman Act. Companies would engage in the most obvious acts of naked, catastrophic fuckery, and judges would say, "Welp, because Congress didn't specifically ban this conduct, I guess it's OK."

So Congress created the FTC with an Act that included a broad authority to investigate and punish "unfair methods of competition." They didn't spell these out – instead, they explicitly said (in Section 5) that it was the FTC's job to determine whether something was unfair, and to act on it:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/10/the-courage-to-govern/#whos-in-charge

The job of the FTC is to investigate unfair conduct before it becomes such a problem that Congress takes action, and to head that conduct off so that it never rises to the level of needing Congressional intervention.

Now, it's true that since the Reagan years, the FTC has grown progressively less interested in using this power, but that's broadly true of all of America's corporate watchdogs. But as the public all over the world has grown ever more furious about corporate abuses and oligarchic wealth, governments everywhere have rediscovered their role as a public protector.

In America, the Biden administration altered the course of history with the appointment of new enforcers in the key anti-monopoly agencies: the FTC and the DOJ's antitrust division. But more importantly, the Biden admin created a detailed, technical plan to use every agency's powers to fight monopoly, in a "whole of government" approach:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/08/party-its-1979-og-antitrust-back-baby

Now, this can give rise to seeming redundancies. Take labor issues. The NLRB is a (potentially) powerful regulator that had been in a coma for decades, but has awoken and taken up labor rights with a fervor and cunning that is a delight to behold:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/09/06/goons-ginks-and-company-finks/#if-blood-be-the-price-of-your-cursed-wealth

At the same time, the FTC has also taken up labor rights, using its much broader powers to do things like ban noncompetes nationwide, unshackling workers from bosses who claim the right to veto who else they can work for:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/02/02/its-the-economy-stupid/#neofeudal

But the NLRB doesn't make the FTC redundant, or vice-versa. The NLRB's role is principally reactive, punishing wrongdoing after it occurs. But the FTC has the power to intervene in incipient harms, labor abuses that have not yet risen to the level of NLRB enforcement or new acts of Congress.

This case is made beautifully in Alvaro Bedoya's speech "'Overawed': Worker Misclassification as a Potential Unfair Method of Competition," delivered to the Law Leaders Global Summit in Miami today:

https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/Overawed-Speech-02-02-2024.pdf

Bedoya describes why the FTC has turned its attention to the problem of "worker misclassification," in which employees are falsely claimed to be contractors, and thus deprived of the rights that workers are entitled to. Worker misclassification is rampant, and it transfers billions from workers to employers every year. As Bedoya says, 10-30% of employers engage in worker misclassification, allowing them to dodge payment for overtime, Social Security, workers' comp, unemployment insurance, healthcare, retirement and even a minimum wage. Each misclassified worker is between $6k-18k poorer thanks to this scam – a typical misclassified worker sees a one third decline in their earning power. And, of course, each misclassified worker's boss is $6k-$18k richer because of this scam.

It's not just wages, it's workplace safety. One of the most dangerous jobs in the country is construction worker, and worker misclassification is rampant in the sector. That means that construction workers are three times more likely than other workers to lack health insurance.

What's more, misclassified workers can't form unions, because their bosses' fiction treats them as independent contractors, not employees, which means that misclassified construction workers can't join trade unions and demand health-care, or safer workplaces.

Contrast this with, say, cops, who have powerful "unions" that afford them gold-plated health care and lavish compensation, even for imaginary ailments like "contact overdoses" from touching fentanyl – a medical impossibility that still entitles our nation's armed bureaucrats to handsome public compensation:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/01/27/extraordinary-popular-delusions/#onshore-havana-syndrome

Cops have far safer jobs than construction workers, but cops don't get misclassified, so they are able to collect benefits that no other worker – public or private – can hope for.

Not every employer wants to cheat and maim their employees, of course. In Bedoya's speech, he references Sandie Domando, an executive VP at a construction company in Palm Beach Gardens. Domando's company keeps its employees on its books, giving them health-care and other benefits. But when she started bidding against rival firms for jobs funded by the covid stimulus, she couldn't compete – two thirds of those jobs went to other firms that were able to put in cheaper bids. Those bids were cheaper because they were defrauding their workers by misclassifying them. Thus, publicly funded projects were overwhelmingly handed over to fraudulent companies. Fraud becomes a fitness-factor for winning jobs. It's a market for lemons – among employers.

Employee misclassification is a pure transfer from workers to bosses. Bedoya recounts the story of Samuel Talavera, Jr, a short-haul trucker who worked for decades in the Port of Los Angeles. For decades, his job paid well: enough to support his family and even take his kids to Disneyland now and again.

But in 2010, his employer reclassified him as a contractor. They ordered him to buy a new truck – which they financed on a lease-purchase basis – and put him to work for 16 hours stretches in shifts lasting as much as 20 hours per day. Talavera couldn't pick his own hours or pick his routes, but he was still treated as an independent contractor for payroll and labor protection purposes.

This lead to an terrible decline in Talavera's working conditions. He gave up going home between shifts, sleeping in his cab instead. His pay dropped through the floor, thanks to junk-fees that relied on the fiction that he was a contractor. For example, his boss started to charge him rent on the space his truck took up while he was standing by for a job at the port. Other truckers at the port saw paycheck deductions for the toilet-paper in the bathrooms!

Talavera's take-home pay dropped so low that he was bringing home a weekly wage of $112 or $33 (one week, his pay amounted to $0.67). His wife had to work three jobs, and they still had to declare bankruptcy to avoid losing their home. When Talavera's truck needed repairs he couldn't afford, his boss fired him and took back the truck, and Talavera was out the $78,000 he'd paid into it on the lease-purchase plan.

This story – and the many, many others like it from the Port of LA – paint a clear picture of the transfer of wealth from workers to their bosses that comes with worker misclassification. The work that Talavera did in the Port of LA didn't get less valuable when he was misclassified – but the share of that value that Talavera received dropped to as little as $0.67/week.

Worker misclassification is rampant across many sectors, but its handmaiden is technology. The fiction of independence is much easier to maintain when the fine-grained employer-employee control is mediated by an app (think of Uber):

https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/12/algorithmic-wage-discrimination/#fishers-of-men

That's why those scare-stories that AI trucks were going to make truckers obsolete and create an employment crisis were such toxic nonsense. Not only are we unlikely to see self-driving trucks, but the same investors that back AI technology are making bank on companies that practice worker misclassification through the "it's not a crime if we do it with an app" gambit:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/01/11/robots-stole-my-jerb/#computer-says-no

By focusing our attention on a hypothetical employment crisis that will supposedly be caused by future AI developments, tech investors can distract us from the real employment crisis that's created by app-enabled worker misclassification, which is also the source of much of the capital they're plowing into AI.

That's why the FTC's work on misclassification is so urgent. Misclassification is a scam that hurts workers and creates oligarchic power – and it's also a mass-extinction event for good companies that don't cheat their workers, because those honest companies can't compete.

Worker misclassification is having a long-overdue and much needed moment. The revolutionary overthrow of the rotten old leadership at the Teamsters was caused, in part, by a radical wing that promised to focus the Teamsters' firepower on fighting worker misclassification:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/11/19/hoffa-jr-defeated/#teamsters-for-a-democratic-union

This has become a focus of labor organizers all around the world, as worker misclassification-via-smartphone has infected labor markets everywhere:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/09/22/kropotkin-graeber/#an-injury-to-one

Bedoya's speech is a banger, and it reminds us that labor rights and anti-monopoly have always been part of the same project: to rein in corporate power and protect workers from the insatiable greed of the capital class:

GLOBAL WARMING

We all thought we were on the ‘unsinkable Titanic’ even when we were sailing straight towards the ‘iceberg’. We are facing one of the biggest crises that humanity has faced till date—global warming. We experience its adversities increasingly each year. Each new year becomes hotter than the previous, and the warmer it becomes the more air conditioning we use, to keep it cool around us, without knowing that the hazardous gases generously contributed by such use are increasing the average global temperature yet again. Hence, this vicious cycle goes on and on.

There is only the selfish and unethical use of resources that planet earth provides by the human species to blame. We have brought this upon ourselves by our ignorant and reckless participation, but then, what use comes out of blaming? We can only rectify the current situation and try to turn it around. We have to get our hands into sustainable, ecologically intelligent development.

The reason of global warming is the concentration of GHG (greenhouse gases) such as CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons), HFC (hydrofluorocarbons) water vapour, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, perfluorocarbon, sulphur hexafluoride and methane. CFCs play a massive role in ozone layer depletion which dwindles away our protection against harmful ultraviolet radiation. CFCs which were being used in refrigerators, air conditioners, fire extinguishers and in aerosol cans, prior to the Montreal Protocol, react with ozone and break it apart. Such reaction leads to the formation of ‘ozone holes’ resulting in ozone layer depletion. Large scale deforestation is other reason that boosts global warming. Lesser trees bring about utilisation of lesser carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and subsequent conversion into oxygen and forest produce leading to an imbalance in the ecosystem. Hence, cutting down of trees has a twofold effect on our home and the earth. The only habitable planet can become soon inhabitable if we allow such abominable and detrimental human activities to go unchecked.

India’s carbon emissions rank fourth in the world if the European Union is considered as a single entity which occupies the third place. Carbon footprint is a term that is often associated with greenhouse effect. Carbon footprint refers to the total amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions for which an organisation or individual is responsible.

Global warming is the increase in the average global temperature causing a wide variety of problems that complement, multiply and sort of conglomerate into a larger picture involving climate change, rising sea levels, changing precipitation patterns in different regions, extreme weather conditions such as droughts, floods, heat waves, heavy snowfalls. Other effects are ocean acidification, ocean deoxygenation, expansion of deserts and tropical cyclones. Glaciers, permafrost and sea ice are starting to disappear. Climate change will cause untoward changes in the crop production. It can affect our health in unfavourable ways. Researchers have shown that global warming and consequent climate change can have an indirect effect on mental health causing disorders. It is said to cause increase in stress and anxiety, substance abuse, depression, suicidal tendencies and even domestic violence. Mental health problems can and will result in undesirable alterations to physical health.

The most important thing is that when climate changes, everything else changes. Biodiversity experiences changes. The species emigrating and immigrating varies and species which can only thrive in a very narrow temperature range will fail in its efforts to continue its existence. According to the latest observations, about one million species are threatened with extinction on earth. Extinction is an irreversible process. Although extinction is a natural process, the frequency and the number of species vulnerable to extinction have increased with astonishing swiftness during recent decades. This quickening in pace can be attributed to climate change. Governments have come up with certain terms such as ‘hotspots’, ‘Ramsar sites’ and the ‘Red Data book’. Hotspots are regions whose species are at the verge of extinction.  Ramsar sites refer to wetlands which are in peril due to climate alterations. Red Data book is a state document, listing all the endangered species present in a particular locality. The gene pool (the total number of genes and alleles associated with a particular population) will experience drastic change. With the ice melting, our land masses can go underwater taking us with it. We can still steer away from the catastrophe if we are more prudent.

Even though slight amount of warming and cooling of earth was present from the beginning, actual, discernible warming began after the industrial revolution. The industrial revolution brought about changes in all walks of life—social, economic, political, ecological, even religious. “The industrial revolution,” said Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, “ushered in the  machine age.” The industrial revolution certainly set the stage for the ‘quietus’. That stage still need not witness the end.

So what are the steps we can take to save our planet? Are there any joint ventures out there in the world where we are trying to replenish earth?

YES, THERE ARE! The most recent one being the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement signed by various countries to keep the increase in average global temperature to well below 2.0 degree Celsius compared to preindustrial levels. Most countries are parties to the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) and it is those countries that have pledged to work towards saving our planet. India has become the 62nd party to Paris Climate Change Agreement. Although the Paris treaty received a warm welcome across the globe initially, yet no country has made a significant step to actually achieve the goals set up  by them. The United States of America has pulled out of the agreement which was looked down upon by other parties. Other such agreements include the Kyoto protocol, Montreal protocol, etc. However, it does not matter how many agreements we make. It amounts to nothing if we make no effort in realising the goals we set for ourselves.

Few steps that we can take are to reduce the use of vehicles run on fossil fuels. The burning of fossil fuels is one of the main sources of greenhouse gases. We can switch to electric cars, make use of public transportation and also try to walk out short distances. The Union Government has instituted certain norms called the Bharat Stage (BS) emission standards to regulate the output of air pollutants from internal combustion engines. We are currently following the European emission norms through BS-IV norms. India has pledged to reduce its carbon emissions by half and also produce 40% of its electricity using non-fossil fuels such as solar, wind and biomass by 2030.

We can replace the use of electrical devices for light and air circulation, making use of natural light and fresh air as much as we can by eco-friendly architecture. One of our major goals must be to plant as many trees and plants as we can. Large scale afforestation can go a long way in helping us turn around the present scenario. We have to increase our forest covers. Even with all that is going on, there is a large section of society that remains unaware of the very delicately balanced environment that we now live in. Those who are aware of the consequences must do what they can to make others sensitive to this pressing issue. There is one thing we are all forgetting or trying to forget so as not to feel guilty of our wrongdoings. The earth is our home. Our home. Around the world, people are taking part in the rat-race to pave the way for a comfortable lifestyle (at least for their children if not for themselves) forgetting that the earth might not last enough to be able to sustain our future generations. Do you not want your children to know what a real tree looks and feels like? Do you not want your children to wake up each day and breathe in fresh air? Do you not want to pass onto your children a bounteous earth unbleached in its natural beauty? Let us grow in our duties to our home. To our Mother Earth.

While I cannot speak for all schools I can tell you what’s going on at the one I work in.

The school is down 2 science teachers and have been since September, no one is applying for the job.

Several members of staff have been off with mental health issues for months due to how stressful everything is.

Two head of departments have handed in their resignations

Two maths teachers have handed their resignations in

3 Teaching assistants have quit

Loads of teachers have their resignations ready to be turned in but are reluctant to leave because they care about the kids.

SEN students aren’t getting their allocated 1-1 support hours due to a shortage of Teaching assistants

The science department can’t afford to do certain practicals

The art department can’t afford new equipment

Only certain classrooms can afford to be heated

Some children who aren’t registered Pupil premium are going hungry and some kind members of staff are buying their lunches for them out of their own pocket.

There’s a shortage of note books

The chairs keep breaking and there’s not enough money to replace them. ( students swinging on chairs over time breaks the back legs)

There’s no glue, the glue that’s left is kept inside offices or teachers desks

There’s no spare stationary, loads of teachers are buying stationary for kids out of their own pockets.

Kids behaviour is getting worse, teachers are battling tik tok and other forms of media for their attention and it’s exhausting.

Kids are starting to think rules don’t apply to them and refuse to come to lessons and are verbally abusive to each other and staff members

There’s been an increase in schools in my area of kids getting into fights and disrupting lessons

The school I work in isn’t even a ‘bad’ school, it’s one of the most applied to in the area which gets the some of the best GCSEs results in the county.

A lot of people are acting like only the “troubled schools” are being affected and it’s not. Every school is struggling which is why Teachers and support staff are protesting.

How can anyone run a school without the budget or the staff, the strikes aren’t affecting your kid’s education, the government is.

The rich minerals in Adivasi lands are being looted by the government and private companies. The Supreme Court has declared 214 out of the 219 Coal-Blocks in the country illegal and ordered their closure and levied a fine on them for their illegal mining. But the central and state governments have found a way out by re-allotting these illegal mines through auction to make it look legal! A lot of assurances are given that Adivasi land will not be given to industrialists, yet at the same time, mines in Scheduled Areas are being allotted to government and private companies.

I think labor is one area (of many) where if you're involved in the politics, the "there's no difference between the political parties so don't bother voting!" line just absolutely falls apart. Like . . . Democrats aren't super invested in labor, but Republicans are actively trying to dismantle unions at a federal level. Most of the mechanics I know lean heavily conservative, but almost every single labor leader I've met has been staunchly, if reluctantly, Democrat. My local trades newsletter is constantly begging people to vote Democrat. My local union is constantly telling its members that it's not that the union is partisan in who it supports; we just keep happening to support Democrats because they at least nominally support labor whereas Republicans are openly trying to fuck us over on every conceivable level.

I went to a tradewomen convention the other day and like half the speaking time was devoted to reiterating the importance of voting. Every speaker was like "please, it has been SO MUCH fucking easier and we have made SO MANY strides since 2020 and it is almost entirely thanks to the Biden administration. Please, please, please do not fuck this up for labor and organizing in 2024."

And it's not because they're neoliberal shills who don't want progress - it's because they've BEEN out there doing the work and they know first-hand what the difference is between a Republican and a Democratic administration. So if you claim to support unions - well, this is what union leaders are asking you to do.

#it is simply very frustrating to see people who are super pro-union and pro-organizing #turn around and say not to vote bc it's useless or bc voting makes you complicit in bad government actions #bestie. please. if you are going to be pro-union you need to *listen to the union leaders* #and they want you to fucking vote #and not for nothing but my union didn't fight for my paid sick days. the democrats in new york state did. still a little pissed about that! #labor rights #us politics

This is huge. This should be headline news but it isn't.

The NLRB just ruled that when companies engage in illegal union-busting they will be automatically forced to recognize the union and start negotiations.
