*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and Human resource management* Title: $650 Million Tax Bill Could Signal New Legal Front for Uber Over Driver Classification *Author:* *Charles Toutant <https://www.law.com/njlawjournal/author/profile/Charles-Toutant/>* Source: New Jersey Law Journal *Date:* Nov 18, 2019 *Summary:* The New Jersey tax collection effort is a sign that Uber faces a reckoning for its labor practices, said *Rebecca Kolins Givan, an associate professor in the School of Management and Labor Relations at Rutgers University*. “It’s a statement that these companies can’t just define legal categories in whatever way is most profitable to them. It’s also an important statement that wage theft is not just theft from the workers, but from the state,” Givan said. *Link: * http://bit.ly/2rXFxU5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Eugene McElroy, Library Associate James Carey Library, School of Management and Labor Relations Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey 50 Labor Center Way, New Brunswick NJ 08901 848-932-9513 smlrlibrary(a)work.rutgers.edu http://smlr.rutgers.edu/carey-library

*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and Human resource management* Title: How FedEx Cut Its Tax Bill to $0 *Author:* Jim Tankersley <https://www.nytimes.com/by/jim-tankersley>, Peter Eavis <https://www.nytimes.com/by/peter-eavis> and Ben Casselman <https://www.nytimes.com/by/ben-casselman> Source: NY Times *Date: *Nov 17, 2019 *Summary: *Nearly two years after the tax law passed, the windfall to corporations like FedEx is becoming clear. A New York Times analysis of data compiled by Capital IQ shows no statistically meaningful relationship between the size of the tax cut that companies and industries received and the investments they made. If anything, the companies that received the biggest tax cuts increased their capital investment by less, on average, than companies that got smaller cuts. *Link:* https://nyti.ms/2Xo3r6Q ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Eugene McElroy, Library Associate James Carey Library, School of Management and Labor Relations Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey 50 Labor Center Way, New Brunswick NJ 08901 848-932-9513 smlrlibrary(a)work.rutgers.edu http://smlr.rutgers.edu/carey-library

*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and Human resource management* Title: A Surprising Finding on Paid Leave: ‘This Is Not the Way We Teach This’ Author: Claire Cain Miller Source: NY Times *Date: *Nov 11, 2019 *Summary: *One of the biggest arguments for paid leave for new parents has been an economic one: Research has repeatedly shown that women with paid time off after childbirth are more likely to keep working. But a new study, the largest to be done in the United States, found the opposite. In California, which in 2004 became the first state to offer paid family leave, new mothers who took it that year ended up working less and earning less a decade later. They averaged $24,000 in cumulative lost wages, it found. *Link*: https://nyti.ms/2qieZNb ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Eugene McElroy, Library Associate James Carey Library, School of Management and Labor Relations Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey 50 Labor Center Way, New Brunswick NJ 08901 848-932-9513 smlrlibrary(a)work.rutgers.edu http://smlr.rutgers.edu/carey-library
