In March 2015, the Stetson Law Review hosted a symposium on "Inequality, Opportunity, and the Law of the Workplace."  The day was a terrific opportunity to think about how the concern about income inequality -- the focus of this guy's campaign -- is and can be addressed by the law, especially labor and employment law.  The symposium is dedicated to Michael Zimmer, who tragically passed away months after the symposium.  Below are links to videos of the event and to papers published from the symposium:
