Juley describes the legislative morass standing in the way of workers rights, and how states like Florida and Texas have actually made it illegal to protect workers. Next up, cohosts Mickey Huff and Eleanor Goldfield highlight the importance of critical media literacy vis a vis how media and our government talk about immigration.
