AAAS: "The price of housing discrimination." Limitations on housing opportunities caused by racial discrimination in American rental markets impose damages upon Black + Hispanic rentors equal to 3 to 5% of their annual income. "Christensen and Timmins deployed a bot to scour online apartment listings and send 18,000 inquiries [to] about 6000 apartments in five major metro regions, varying the names of the “apartment seeker” to suggest different racial identities." Names implying non-white identities had approximately an 8% lower likelihood of receiving a response, "particularly for neighborhoods with more white residents, higher rental demand, stronger schools, more cafés, fewer murders, and less toxic air quality." Three to five percent is a lot. And institutional racism still exists, contrary to the misinformation + disinformation purveyed by certain media + political figures. We need to keep working on the great American experiment in democracy. [ILLUSTRATION: MICHAEL GLENWOOD GIBBS/ISPOT STOCK]   #discriminationlaw   #racisminamerica   #disinformation

Shocking! This news highlights the need for greater protections for essential workers like Amazon drivers. We must ensure that no one is denied basic rights like bathroom breaks. #FairWages #WorkerRights #Amazon #EqualOpportunity #DiscriminationLaw https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/z3m4wa/drivers-sue-amazon-over-inhumane-conditions-having-to-pee-in-bottles

Statewide #employment nondiscrimination policies are more important for the mental health of #transgender #workers than are the Human Rights Campaign's municipality equality indices or hate crime laws. Improve #gender #affirming #policies in the #workplace for #trans and #nonbinary #employees.

Any idea on how this was applied to part time workers, which are dominated by #women and the #disabled?

Seems like a positive experiment, which will be rife with #equalpay #discrimination issues in practice.

e.g. 75% hours, 5 days a week. Existing 4 days a week workers, etc.

What happens to them on a relative basis Vs the new 4dayers is probably already covered by most countries' laws...
