 "Some people call it the gig economy...some call it the side hustle economy...but what it really is...is the exploitation economy.” That’s Kooper Caraway (photo), President of the Sioux Falls AFL-CIO, talking about the Exploitation Economy on the latest episode of the AFL-CIO’s ‘State of the Unions’ podcast. “You’re supposed to work longer hours for less pay and you’re supposed to do two, three or four jobs full-time in order just to get the basic things that people should be taking for granted. And to know that the labor movement is thinking about that and thinking about the future...that’s going to attract younger folks because no matter what we say on Instagram, no one likes the side hustle economy. Nobody likes being exploited.” Subscribe to "State of the Unions" anywhere you listen to podcasts.
