Threats to Legitimacy in Local Employment Law Enforcement Regimes Among Immigrant and Racially Marginalized Small Business Owners
U.S. municipal labor enforcement agencies find they are often inundated with complaints from small, immigrant‐ or minority‐owned firms. This undermines these agencies' efforts to engage in strategic enforcement and raises equity concerns, threatening the legitimacy of the labor standards enforcement regime among some businesses. This paper draws on interviews with small business owners who participated in a pilot study that provided employment la…

City Power in the Age of Silicon Valley
This article recasts the debate over the employment status of gig economy workers as a question about the power of municipal governance.

This article investigates the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in NYC as they were concentrated on immigrant workers and their communities, studying one group of immigrant workers, namely taxi drivers. Based on two years of ethnographic research with the New York Taxi Workers Alliance, a union of 24,000 taxi and app-based drivers in NYC, conducted before and during the pandemic, as well as formal interviews and an original survey of 1,002 union m…

International relations scholars have traditionally focused on state-centered accounts of international legal norm development between nations while sociolegal scholars have focused on Weberian notions of occupational authority. This study advances a constructivist sociolegal approach emphasizing activist action as playing a unique role in shaping international norms. Specifically, this study investigates labor activists' intervention in U.S. bil…

Underappreciated in this conversation has been the perspective from neuroscience, despite its recent success – and the likelihood of future progress – in advancing our understanding of the neural basis for health-related decisions. Using tobacco control as …
