Seth Harris, Who Wrote Blueprint for California's Prop 22, Tapped for Top Labor Role
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seth Harris, the former acting labor secretary under President Obama,
has reportedly been tapped as a top labor adviser. While working at the
corporate law firm Dentons, Harris co-wrote a paper which helped shape
California's anti-worker Prop 22. Prop 22 exempts companies like Uber
and Lyft from having to classify their workers as employees, depriving
them of basic wage and labor protections.
