(Bloomberg View) — Good jobs come with benefits, Americans have been taught for the past 65 years.
But what if things were different?
“Imagine a world in which employers or employer-like entities were responsible for a high standard fair wage, for humane and adequate scheduling, for non-discrimination, for safe workplaces and nothing else.
Then imagine a more robust social contract, actually owned by workers and citizens–portable, universal, prorated–that provided a tremendous amount more flexibility and more choice than anything we saw attached to the institutional economy of the 20th century.”
