Thanks, @lizagross.bsky.social, for covering my new Health Affairs article with @jamiemccallum.bsky.social.
We found that California's heat standard was associated with a 33% decrease in heat-related deaths among outdoor workers.
Likely prevents 34 worker deaths each year.

Climate change is killing workers. The fix is simple.
Water. Shade. Rest Breaks.
Our new Health Affairs study: California's heat standard was associated with a 33% drop in heat-related deaths among outdoor workers.
Now it's time for OSHA to adopt a federal heat standard.

Trump's mix of high tariffs and union-busting won't deliver higher wages or new manufacturing jobs for American workers - it will just increase profits for corporations.

I’m so happy to announce that my book is now published and available open-access! (🧵coming soon, too :)
Yep. There are two books that I assign along with Wikipedia: Hartz's The Liberal Tradition in America and Polanyi's The Great Transformation...
I'm really excited for the rollout of trueviews.org on Tuesday. This is a website we've been working for awhile, which shows public opinion at a variety of geographic scales, including zip codes, state legislative districts, congressional districts, and states.
Got my hands on a copy.

I wrote about labor unions and American democracy for EPI with @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social & @jamiemccallum.bsky.social.
Here's our new post on unions' defense of ballot drop boxes:

Figure A of the linked report showing a map of counties in the United States and the number of ballot boxes per 100,000 county residents
A screenshot of the key findings of the linked report in bullet point form
Counties with higher union membership rates were more likely to have ballot drop boxes in the 2022 midterm elections
Cool study by @adamdean.bsky.social @jamiemccallum.bsky.social @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social

@jbouie.bsky.social:
“Republicans...know that organized labor is a key obstacle to dismantling the social safety net. The question is whether Democrats understand that their fortunes are also bound up in the fate of workers.”
EPI report finds that unions defend democracy, too:

Worried about voting rights and the 2024 election?
Labor unions are vital to defend ballot drop boxes and voting access.
1 point ⬆️ union density ➡️ 9.8% ⬆️ drop boxes.
