People today face an affordability crisis. Too often, they're taken advantage of as consumers, exploited as workers., and sometimes both at the same time. This panel will explore the overlap between consumer and worker protections, and will share examples of cases where government has taken on companies and practices that chip away at people's pocketbooks and rights.
