Riassunto

Explores the emerging issues of virtual work—defining employment, litigating claims, aggregating cases, unionizing workers, and preventing harassment—and how employers have turned to technology during the pandemic. As work moves further into the virtual context, we must find new ways of framing employment laws to keep pace with these changes.
