Professor Yiran Zhang is a prominent emerging voice in the field of labor and employment law, focusing on how care work is governed at the complicated intersection of informal labor markets, the welfare state, and the household. At Cornell’s ILR School, where she is also an Associate Faculty Member at Cornell Law School, she examines the rapidly shifting terrain of U.S. care-subsidy programs and what these changes mean for workers, families, and the law. Her scholarship, which spans top journals including Boston University Law Review, Indiana Law Journal, and Stanford Law &amp; Policy Review, explores fundamental questions about gender, caregiving, and the very boundaries of what society counts as “work.” In this interview, Professor Zhang discusses her current research, the rise of paid family caregiving, and the new forms of worker organizing emerging in home-care labor. She closes with powerful reflections on why care workers, often overlooked, are central to the future of the labor movement.The interview was conducted by Joanne Lee, a LabourStart intern.<a rel="payment" href="https://www.labourstart.org/pico/?en/donate">Support the show</a>

Is this the Nobel Prize for the international trade union movement?

This week, we talked with two leaders of the Sindikat kontrole letenja (SKL), the union representing Serbian air traffic controllers, who have been dismissed after their security clearances were revoked based on a vague &quot;negative opinion from the security services.&quot; Both played key roles in this year’s lawful and successful strike.  In this interview we discussed how the Serbian government launched a coordinated attack on the two union leaders and why, and how trade unionists across Europe and around the world can show their solidarity and bring pressure to bear on the Serbian government.  <a href='https://www.labourstartcampaigns.net/show_campaign.cgi?c=5738'>Learn more about what happened and sign up to support the campaign - click here.</a><a rel="payment" href="https://www.labourstart.org/pico/?en/donate">Support the show</a>
