DESCRIPTION
A growing portion of the workforce in today's economy, especially in the so-called "gig" or "sharing" economy, falls outside the category of "employee," or along its hotly contested boundaries. How are non-employment work relations regulated (by antitrust law, for example), and how should they be regulated? This intensive course will take up both the boundary question -- who is an "employee"? – and the legal status and treatment of workers beyond the reach of labor and employment law, mainly within U.S. law but with some comparative perspectives.
