Warren labor reform rewrites the rules of the labor economy

https://www.vox.com/identities/2019/10/3/20895389/warren-plan-for-workers?

Warren just released the most ambitious labor reform platform of the 2020 campaign
It would rewrite the rules of the labor economy.

.......
There are three recurring themes to Warren’s plan: She wants to give workers more power, protect vulnerable workers, and crack down on companies that break US labor laws. ......

Assuming Warren could push her plans through Congress - at least those part that would require Congressional action - it would be a paradigm shift in labor law. I tend to agree with motives behind the plan. I would be interested to see a politically unbiased analysis of the economic effects. I don't know where one goes for a politically unbiased economic analysis but I nevertheless think it would be interesting.

Labor Laws have been weakened, or eliminated since Reagan. The Democrats meanwhile have done little to help maintain the laws while taking for union votes granted.
