Families place enormous trust in nursing homes and long-term care facilities. They expect trained professionals to provide safe, compassionate, and dignified care for vulnerable older adults. Unfortunately, elder abuse and neglect remain serious and widespread problems in nursing homes across the United States.

Abuse in nursing homes can take many forms, including physical violence, emotional mistreatment, sexual assault, financial exploitation, chronic neglect, medication errors, dehydration, malnutrition, preventable falls, wandering or elopement, and devastating pressure injuries commonly known as bed sores. In many cases, these incidents are not isolated mistakes. They are symptoms of systemic failures such as understaffing, poor training, inadequate supervision, or a facility culture that prioritizes profits over resident safety.

Choosing a nursing home for a loved one is one of the most important decisions a family can make.

Introduction: The Shift from Collective Labor to Legal Advocacy

For much of modern history, the protection of the working class was rooted in collective power. Labor unions stood as the primary force defending wages, safety standards, and dignity in the workplace. Today, however, that landscape has changed dramatically. As union membership has declined and collective bargaining power has weakened, another institution has quietly expanded its role in safeguarding the rights of ordinary people: the civil justice system.

At the center of this system are juries and trial lawyers. Together, they form a decentralized yet powerful mechanism that allows individuals to challenge corporations, expose wrongdoing, and demand accountability. In many respects, trial lawyers have become the modern stewards of worker protection, functioning as the conscience of society and carrying forward a mission once dominated by organized labor.

Introduction: The Debate Over Uber Driver Classification

The rise of the gig economy has transformed how work is defined, marketed, and regulated. At the center of this transformation is Uber, a company that has built its business model on classifying drivers as independent contractors rather than employees. This classification allows Uber to avoid providing benefits, minimum wage protections, and payroll tax contributions.

However, economic analysis challenges this narrative. Research by Lawrence Mishel provides a detailed examination of Uber driver compensation, work structure, and economic dependency, revealing a reality that diverges sharply from the independent contractor model . When viewed through an economic lens rather than a legal label, Uber drivers exhibit characteristics that align far more closely with traditional employees.
