Imagine that.
China has stronger labor rights than the US.
In the US, At-will employment means your company can fire you for almost any reason.
There's no federal law protecting workers from AI displacement.

💙Over 100 progressive nonprofit groups: joining together to push back against the Trump admin’s recent threats to investigate & dismantle L-leaning orgs in the wake of Kirk’s murder.
