Recommended by David Weil, former administrator of the Wage and Hour Division of the US Department of Labor "The Fissured Workplace: Why Work Became So Bad for So Many and What Can Be Done to Improve It" by David WeilThis book provides a foundational understanding for how work became so "bad," in Weil's words. It examines how, over time, big firms increasingly hived off sections of their workforce — from janitorial staff to human resources departments — to third-party contract firms, thereby absolving themselves from blame if those third parties skirted labor laws.
