Debate on how best to support workers' incomes


In Corruption Busters, we have criticized the use of unemployment insurance and favored maintaining employer-employee relationships. This article features dueling approaches. One by Rep. Jayapal who wants to maintain employer-employee relationships (requiring them to keep paying workers) and another that argues that the $600 weekly bonus in the expanded unemployment (PUA/PUC) in the CARES Act stenghthens the bargaining power of low-wage workers, thus correcting a major injustice and imbalance in U.S. labor markets.
