Ep. 222: What’s Driving The Labor Unrest Of ‘Striketober’?

Over the past month, workers across the country have been going on strike, prompting some industry watchers to dub the uptick in labor actions “Striketober.” But what’s causing large groups of workers in industries as varied as film production, manufacturing and healthcare to all take collective action? On this week’s episode, Law360 Employment Authority senior reporter Tim Ryan joins us to explain the trend. Also this week, Pro Say guest host Emma Whitford breaks down her latest reporting on New York’s pandemic-era protections against evictions and foreclosures, and Alex unpacks a historic whistleblower award from the CFTC. Finally, we end with lawyers for Atari who had their mellow harshed when a judge forbade them from playing video games during an IP trial.
