The last few years have seen an increase in union organizing and employee protests in non-traditional areas – retail, tech, cannabis dispensaries, college campuses, non-profits. We also saw a spike in the number of strikes in 2022. Organizing has definitely been in the news as well-known employers have experienced organizing campaigns – Starbucks, Amazon, Trader Joe’s, Apple retail stores, Peets coffee etc. What does “union organizing” mean? Why are employees seeking assistance from unions? Why might they be willing to strike? Do employees have rights to act together even without a union?YLR Host is joined tonight by Jill Coffman, Regional Director of The National Labor Relations Board, Beth Mora of Mora Employment Law, Thomas Lenz, a partner at Atkinson, Andelson, Loya, Ruud & Romo in Pasadena, Ca, and Jill Coffman, Regional Director of The National Labor Relations Board.Questions for Jeff's guests?

In recent months, there have been an uptick in the number of mass-casualty shooting events. Despite the publicity surrounding two recent events occurring in California, California has been said to have the most restrictive laws in the nation and has one of the lowest gun death rates in the nation.Next week, our discussion continues as we take a look at some of these gun-control measures. Tonight, we will discuss one of the tools to address gun violence before it happens, the gun violence restraining order. California’s red flag law allows people in certain specified roles or with specified relationships to an individual to seek a gun violence restraining order to remove firearms from a person who has been deemed a threat to themselves or someone else.But who is to decide who is deemed a threat? What standards will that person apply?Joining YLR Host, Jeff Hayden, is Lance Bayer, a municipal attorney in private practice. Questions for Jeff and his guest? Please call us at (866) 798-8255.

Our final show of 2022, just five weeks ago, proved prophetic. We asked what would happen if government, at any level, paired ranked-choice voting with proprietary software, and made a mistake; how would we ever know? The very next day, that very scenario was unveiled in Alameda County, when election officials came to realize they had declared the wrong winner in a race. The officials determined that as a result of rank choice voting had been misapplied, they declared the wrong candidate as the winner. As we go to air tonight, some twelve weeks after the election -- even after certifying the election – the court ordered a review in the Alameda County School Board, District Four ballots. And while the attorneys for the two candidates get to review those ballots, and watch as the sausage is being made, the court order does not go so far as to overturn the results; at least not yet.And then what happens? And just what is the state of elections in California?YLR Host, Jeff Hayden, is joined, once again, by Brent Turner, the real activist. Questions for Jeff and his guest?
