S2E6: Happy Labor Day - Workers' Rights, Unions, & the History of the Celebration of Workers

There are debates all over the internet about what a livable wage is and whether or not people want to work anymore. In today's episode, I want to look at what's really going on with the labor force in the US - while also celebrating all of the work we do. I hope that you had a fabulous Labor Day if you are in the US, or if you aren't celebrating - I hope your weekend was fabulous too! 

Join me for a discussion on the origins of labor day, the wealth gap, minimum wage, and your rights as a worker. 

Thank you for listening ♥️
