You may have noticed in the media lately that there is a lot of unionization, as well as threats to unionize and even regulation that is being forced upon businesses. Starbucks and Amazon are two companies in the headlines recently for employee unionization in response to what they perceive as unfair working conditions.

In 2022, more than 16 million workers in the United States were represented by a union—an increase of 200,000 from 2021 (according to the Economic Policy Institute)

Why is this massive increase happening? Well, it really comes back around to the things we talk about all the time, which is the People Revolution, and that people are no longer going to tolerate working for companies that do not treat them well. If they feel trapped in a job, it's going to force them to actually try to do what they can to make the conditions better. Oftentimes when companies are unionizing or threatening unionization, it's because of these reasons.

In this episode, you will be able to:

  • understand the impact of unionization and labor dynamics on business success.
  • recognize the consequences of unfair treatment of workers in the workplace.
  • discover the importance of addressing short notice scheduling for a better work-life balance.
  • learn how inadequate compensation and stressful conditions affect employee satisfaction.

Tune in to learn more about the 2024 Union Boon and what you can do to ensure your employees are happy.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
