Pete Buttigieg calls out tech companies in a new economic proposal that guarantees all workers, including gig economy workers, the right to join a union and supports a stricter definition of independent contractor that would label more workers as employees
The mayor of South Bend, Indiana, titled his plan"The New Rising Tide: Empowering Workers in a Changing Economy," a reference to the economic saying"a rising tide lifts all boats." "We got the rising tide -- GDP went up, productivity went up -- but our paychecks didn't show it," Buttigieg writes in the proposal.
" For example, workers at three unionized retail stores could decide collectively to bring their three employers to one bargaining table and negotiate one pay package for all three retail stores. This model still exists in America's construction trades, but has waned in recent decades, and remains much more common in Europe.
