PA Has the 4th Most Hotels with Labor Law Violations of all 50 States [VIDEO]
This is a video from my new show, Counterpoint PA, the only grassroots progressive newscast exclusively about Pennsylvania politics.
In this video, I discuss new analysis by nonprofit news outfit Public Source that shows Pennsylvania having the fourth most hotels with labor law violations of all the United States. I show where in the state the most labor law violations at hotels have happened, give specifics on the kinds of labor law violations at hotels that have happened (including child labor), and offer a bit of my own commentary about what it means for our society.
