Role model interpretations of same-race match effects have always rubbed me the wrong way, but I couldn't pinpoint why. Then this brilliant scholar (follow @lavaredmonds now!) came along and gave us one very important reason why. As @TrevonDLogan so eloquently put it... 1/2
🚨 Working Paper Alert! 🚨
I’ve basically been soft launching this for a while now, but I’m ready to share my first Big Kid working paper. Join me for a 🧵 on HBCUs, teachers, and Black student achievement! Comments and suggestions are much appreciated!

Folks: BEWARE--This Instacart post is NOT as benign as it sounds: "As a result of some grocers transitioning to a Partner Pick model, we’ll be winding down our in-store operations at select retailer locations over the coming months." link.medium.com/ggNOKMor0db

While today’s terrible display of terror and meanness shakes us, let’s remember: @ossoff, Jewish son of an immigrant & @ReverendWarnock, first Black Senator from Georgia, will join a Catholic POTUS & the first woman, Black + Indian VP in our nation’s capital. God bless America.

The Heller School and Dean David Weil @profsheena wish you a safe, healthy and happy holiday season and new year!

In new work w/ @profsheena & @ClemensNoelke, we show that having "standard-bearers" in the low wage sector--companies that pay higher wages--raises wages more broadly (draft coming soon!). This is a great piece by @hshierholz on the federal contractor version of this strategy.
Biden needs to go well beyond repealing Trump’s bad executive orders—he has the power to assure that workers paid by federal contracts are a national model.–@hshierholz

Must read from NELP's Tricia Smith, @ChrisLu44 and @profsheena:
Why Americans Don't Know About Their Right to Paid Sick Leave:
#PaidSick #PaidLeave #COVID19

David Weil retweeted
One of the worst inequities exposed by #COVID19 is that too many workers lack paid sick and family leave. When Congress tried to provide a temporary fix, the Trump Admin. undermined it.

On one hand, expert medical professionals say that to save lives, we need a lockdown to stop the Coronavirus pandemic.
On the other hand expert economists look at the economy and say... -- oh wait a minute they say the same thing.
Who are our leaders listening to?

In this Op-Ed, I explain three important things that are far too little understood:
1) America suffers from anti-worker exceptionalism. We're the only industrial nation that doesn't guarantee paid parental leave, paid sick days or universal health coverage nytimes.com/2019/08/03/opini…

Fascinating talk by @profsheena at @OECD_Social on The Fissured Workplace and his experience at the US Wage and Hour Administration: we don't perceive how much work has changed, enforcement and workplace norms have to be reshaped as well

Allowing employers to take workers' tips flies in the face of fairness and undermines the economic wellbeing of millions of low-wage workers. @profsheena theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Feels like momentum is quickly building behind the call for @SecretaryAcosta to withdraw the tip-stealing rule. People on both sides of the aisle should care that @usdol tried to hide the impact of this rule from the public. bnanews.bna.com/daily-labor-…
