  • Is DEI D-E-A-D? How Workplace Diversity Initiatives Being Reshaped

    Is DEI D-E-A-D? How Workplace Diversity Initiatives Being Reshaped
    Sep 9 2025
    Diversity, equity, and inclusivity initiatives, DEI, have been under scrutiny in the past year. Is DEI “dead” or simply “evolving under pressure?” Guests Stephanie Jones and Joan Willaims – with decades of scholarship and experience in the field of inclusive, fair labor, and employment issues – dig into recent shifts in the landscape. Executive orders, political agendas, and public opinion have challenged advances made under DEI initiatives. These efforts to maintain fairness and build diversity face being dismantled faster than they can be instituted in some cases. In this episode, we’ll explore the future of DEI, including the program “buzzwords” that often attract negative attention, as well as the most effective DEI programs that focus on data, evidence, consistency, and fairness. Hear how DEI programs can be reshaped, implemented, and sustained in a shifting cultural, legal, and political environment.

  • National Labor Relations Law Facing New Court Challenges

    National Labor Relations Law Facing New Court Challenges
    Aug 5 2025
    The National Labor Relations Act recently turned 90 years old, but there appear to be a series of new “what’s old is new again” challenges to the constitutionality of National Labor Relations Board’s powers, a replay of arguments harking back to the New Deal. Guests Eric Dreiband and Diana Reddy explore the current state of employment and labor law and recent challenges to NLRB oversight and the president’s power over the board. The Act and the NLRB sprang from the Great Depression and were incorporated into New Deal policies in an attempt to fix what went wrong. The NLRB and Act have provided protections to workers and unions and sought to level the bargaining process for decades. But what was believed to be settled law might not be as “settled” as many thought. Today a flurry of new legal challenges question the constitutionality of some provisions and the extent of a sitting president’s power over leadership at the NLRB along with the role of administrative law judges. Legal professionals who have been counting on the “bedrock” of established labor relations law may find that foundation is shaking again.

  • Immigration and Employment Law, Today’s Tangled Web

    Immigration and Employment Law, Today’s Tangled Web
    Jul 22 2025
    When it comes to foreign workers inside the United States today, the world of immigration law has seemingly been upended. It can be hard to keep up with rapidly evolving events and rulings, but with clients and employers at risk, professionals who represent them can’t afford to fall behind. When do employers check work authorization, and how often can they? What do employers need to be looking for? And what industries are most affected? While the Trump v. Casa case may not have brought the clarity many in labor and employment law sought, it was simply a procedural move that limits jurisdiction, it’s not the final word. This gets confusing in a hurry as the labor and employment professionals grapple with protective status, refugees, temporary status, and workforce eligibility issues. Hear insights from accomplished guests Jonathan Grode and Ingrid Nava into where shifting immigration policies may affect labor and employment law and what some of these decisions mean across the country and across labor sectors. In today’s uncertain times, it’s important to understand the limits of what employers can do, even when they are trying to do the right thing, as well as the rights of employees. Confused? You’re not alone. Mentioned in This Episode: Trump v. Casa, U.S. Supreme Court “Trump v.
