Workplace Flexibility 2010 report provides a useful framework to employers, employees, and unions who are thinking about how to provide greater flexibility to low-wage hourly workers, and advocates and policymakers who want to better understand the contours of this issue and policy solutions, and for all who are working to make flexibility a regular feature of low-wage hourly jobs.
An overview, “A Woman’s Nation” Demands Workplace Flexibility posted by Chai R. Feldblum and Katie Corrigan on the HuffPost healthy Living page describes what led up to the report. A bipartisan Senate Study Group was formed to take a closer look at the data on the need for workplace flexibility and to discuss potential bipartisan solutions that can address that need. The goal at Workplace Flexibility 2010 is to move that conversation forward – toward common-sense public policy solutions that will weave workplace flexibility into the fabric of the American workplace.
