If employees really continued working around a corpse, then the issue is larger than one shocking moment. It becomes a question about dignity, trauma, and how institutional logic overrides human instinct.

I need sometimes to travel abroad. I try to reduce in-person presence at international conferences but as a scientists, I cannot avoid them entirely.

Yes, I can reduce the environmental impacts by avoiding air travel. But I am also worried about the working conditions in the hotel during my stay.

For such reasons, and for everyone who travels, here are lists of hotels that respect their workers' rights:

USA & Canada: https://www.fairhotel.org/
Denmark: http://okforhold.dk/
Norway: https://www.fellesforbundet.no/en/
Sweden: https://www.schystavillkor.se/
Spain: https://fairhotels.es/?page_id=2

(If you know of other lists or countries to facilitate responsible travels, please comment below!)

Power to the Unions!

The Gospel of the Bottom Line

I’ve been walking the blocks of Chicago lately, from the glass canyons of the Loop to the bungalows of Canaryville, and I’m hearing a new kind of silence.  It’s the silence of a machine, specifically, those Waymo rigs now prowling our streets, cameras spinning like the eyes of a mechanical spider.  They call it "testing."
