Show Notes
Naturally, the headline writers have to be brief and leave out context: “Evers vetoes portable benefits for delivery drivers.” The real story is how the governor vetoed the ongoing imbalance between how corporations treat their workers—and abuse the loophole of “gig workers,” “independent contractors,” and “part-timers.” We’ll talk to former state Rep. Dana Wachs about worker misclassification — and also about his early work to bring transparency to property tax bills about the true cost of the voucher schools program. We’ll also check in with Civic Media’s Jimmie Kaska.
