The Institute is pleased to have published a groundbreaking report by Professor Imre S. Szalai, the Judge John D. Wessel Distinguished Professor of Social Justice at Loyola University New Orleans College of Law.

Of those, nearly half also prevent their workers from joining class or collective actions against their employer.
