In Episode 87, we discuss RTO or Return to Work. What is management's motivation? Why do they feel the need to control every aspect of the workplace? Is it just a layoff? Could you listen in to find out if this trend will continue? Thanks!

New Media's Prominence
Episode 86 discusses the fall of traditional media and opportunities for emboldening the working class. Now that the public can participate in shaping the narrative, we should focus on a unifying voice. Issues of interest to working families, such as immigration, globalization, war, healthcare, and free trade, can be discussed without interference from corporate sponsors and wealthy elites. You can get your message to a targeted audience. Don't underestimate the importance of new media. Look for opportunities to get involved.

Ghost Jobs
In Episode 85, we discuss Gost Jobs and how some companies are publishing phony job listings. This scheme is designed to keep existing employees from quitting and seeking better employment. Companies use fake job postings to increase market visibility while keeping their options open. We can help expose these cruel tactics by convincing former employees to include these issues in company online reviews.

When Companies Get Acquired Workers Get Hurt
In Episode 84, we discuss what often happens when companies merge or get bought out: workers get hurt. What may have been a family-run business can sometimes feel like a corporate takeover. Stress and anxiety about the future can make people sick. Not knowing the future or how salaries and benefits will be affected makes the situation intolerable. Our job is to try to shield workers from such exploitation. In identifying leaders, find those whom their peers admire, well-like, and trust and who have a vast network of contacts.
