요약State labor laws and working conditions have important implications for worker's health and well-being. Recently, a rise in precarious employment and state preemption laws-legislation that restricts the power of lower-level jurisdictions-has stymied local attempts to meet the needs of localities and enact labor laws and protections that exceed federal minimums (Scharff, 2017; Riverstone-Newell, 2017). Scholars argue that these recent state preemption efforts jeopardize public health and negatively impact workers' health and well-being (Pomeranz & Pertschuk, 2017). While the health effects of generous labor laws are well documented (e.g., Leigh et al., 2019; Isaacs, Healy & Peters, 2017), less is known about the link between state labor preemption laws and workers' health despite calls to quantify these purported consequences across different policy domains and population health outcomes (Carr et al., 2020). To fill this gap, I use an equity-first lens to first examine whether variations in and dimensions of four US state labor preemption laws are associated with adverse mental health outcomes for workers and whether outcomes are patterned by gender, income, race/ethnicity, and education (Paper 1). Second, I investigate whether variations in and dimensions of state labor preemption are associated with health care access for US workers with a high school education or less, and whether outcomes vary by gender, race/ethnicity, and insurance coverage (Paper 2). Finally, I assess whether nonstandard or irregular work schedules, a potential consequence of preempted fair scheduling laws, are getting 'under the skin' of workers at young adulthood and early mid-life using biomarkers of cardiovascular health (CVH). I also examine whether CVH outcomes vary by gender, race/ethnicity, education, or employment in the service industry (Paper 3). To address these questions, I employ a series of bivariate, linear, and logistic regression models using two nationally representative health datasets (Add Health and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Survey) and state-level preemption law measures (Economic Policy Institute, 2019). In paper 1, findings suggest female workers that lived in states with multiple preempted labor laws, particularly states that restricted temporal-based preemption laws like fair scheduling ordinances, were at significantly higher odds of reporting poor mental health, and this association was pronounced for low income and Hispanic females. Notably, state preemption had no significant effect on poor mental health outcomes for male workers suggesting that the mental health consequences of state preemption disproportionately impacts females. In paper 2, results show female workers with a high school education or less that lived in states with multiple types and instances of preempted labor laws were at significantly higher odds of reporting cost-related barriers to health care regardless of their health insurance status, and this association was pronounced for Black and white female workers. Black male workers were also at significantly higher odds of experiencing barriers to health care in states with multiple preemption laws. Findings support evidence that racial inequities in health may be exacerbated by state preemption. Finally, findings from paper 3 indicate workers subjected to nonstandard work schedules in young adulthood were at increased risk of obesity and high inflammation during early mid-life and as a result may be at increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Of note, the health consequences of nonstandard work schedules appeared to disproportionately affect cardiovascular health outcomes for female and Black workers as well as workers employed outside of the service industry. Findings from this dissertation have important implications for social justice, labor policy, and health equity.
