Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Workers protest at a McDonald's in Milwaukee, Wis.
A new ruling by the National Labor Relations Board could make it easier for fast food workers and other low-paid employees to unionize and bargain for higher pay. The ruling addresses the concern that a growing number of corporations hold employees at arm’s length, making it hard for workers to challenge wages and working conditions. We explore what the ruling means for both franchise owners and low-wage workers in the food industry, and for workers elsewhere in the economy.
