Project 2025 on Labor and Employment (Episode 166)
Ivo Becica is an attorney who represents businesses and Human Resources professionals in employment disputes, including providing advice and training on staying in compliance with the law, as well as defending against employee claims when necessary. He writes about labor and employment law at his firm’s blog, HR Legalist. Becica joined co-host Robin Renée for an even-tempered conversation on what Project 2025 has to say about labor and employment issues in comparison to what the Harris/Walz platform proposes.
In This Fortnight I Learned, co-host Wendy Sheridan shares a fact about the slowing of the earth's rotation while Robin shouts out the Halloween-appropriate, most recently recognized cat breed according to Cat Fancy UK. In the News: Survivors of the atomic bombings of Japan win the Nobel Peace Prize for their campaign to rid the world of nuclear weapons and three economists win for their study on post-colonial wealth, rough weather in the U.S. and Morocco, yet another worrying climate observation, Jack Smith's unsealed court filing regarding obstruction of the 2020 electoral process, the presidential election's Jill Stein complication, a promising use for CBD oil, and more. Robin nominates Allison Gill for Lefty of the Week.
