Section 8(c) of the National Labor Relations Act states an employer’s communication is not an unfair labor practice if it does not contain a threat of reprisal, force, or a promise of a benefit. Historically, this provision was understood to protect employers’ free speech rights to hold mandatory meetings with employees to express their views on unionization.However, in Amazon.com Services LLC, 373 NLRB No. 136 (Nov. 14, 2024), the National Labor Relations Board held that mandatory meetings where an employer expresses its views on unions violate the Act. The Board deemed such meetings unlawful, even if the views expressed during them do not independently constitute an unfair labor practice.Bill Messenger and Roger King will examine the history of Section 8(c), the Board’s interpretation of its scope, and the potential outcome of the Board’s decision on appeal to the 11th Circuit.Featuring:William L. Messenger, Vice President and Legal Director, National Right to Work Legal Defense and Education Foundation, Inc.(Moderator) G. Roger King, Senior Labor and Employment Counsel, HR Policy Association

What can employers do to help? Epstein Becker Green attorneys Susan Gross Sholinsky and Michael S. Ferrell outline proactive strategies employers can adopt to prevent potential workplace incidents and describe protections surrounding political speech, as governed by laws like the National Labor Relations Act.

As part of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Kim and Kara finally get to talk with Kayla Hayes.  At just 25, Kayla Hayes is a passionate advocate, speaker, and author who embodies resilience. Having faced the challenges of childhood sexual abuse and teenage domestic violence, she made a powerful choice to transform her pain into purpose, embracing her scars as wings of strength. Kayla's story has resonated widely, earning features on Inside Edition, in Cosmopolitan Magazine, and on various national platforms dedicated to empowering survivors. Through podcasts, interviews, and impactful speaking engagements, she raises awareness about domestic violence and empowers others to reclaim their identities. A pivotal moment in Kayla's journey was the realization that her experiences did not define her; rather, they could be a source of strength. This insight drives her mission to inspire young people to heal from their pasts and see their scars as symbols of hope and resilience. She believes that by sharing our stories, we can create a supportive community that uplifts one another. Kayla's Call to Action: "Our scars, both physical and invisible, can become our wings, lifting us towards healing and empowerment. I just want to urge you to embrace your journey and wear your scars proudly, knowing they are symbols of resilience. If you or someone you know is struggling with the effects of abuse, I urge you to seek support and share your story because I believe that truly together we can create a community of healing and strength and to show the world that our past does not define us. Instead, we can propel us into a brighter, more powerful future." Learn more from Kayla: To discover more about Kayla's advocacy or to book a speaking engagement, visit sheriseswithkaylahayes.com.

The impact of recent hurricanes, ongoing relief efforts, and organizations you can check out are discussed. Kara and her husband watched two true crime documentaries that have stuck with her, whether she likes it or not. The significance of Domestic Violence Awareness Month and supporting your local advocacy center is this week's call to action, specifically SAVA of Weld and Larimer counties.

But wait, it gets worse! Kim and Kara have an infuriating conversation learning some unbelievable things from Dr. Nicole Bedera as she shares 8 years worth of her original, pioneering research. This explosive investigation reveals the profound failures of the Title IX system and identifies concrete, simple steps we can take to protect students. Get ready, listeners--you're going to want to ride at dawn by the end of this chapter. Nicole Bedera, Ph.D. is a sociologist and author of the forthcoming book On the Wrong Side: How Universities Protect Perpetrators and Betray Survivors of Sexual Violence. Her research broadly focuses on how our social structures contribute to survivors' trauma and make sexual violence more likely to occur in the future. Her scholarship has influenced sexual violence prevention programming across the country, including for Planned Parenthood, and her work has been featured in many popular outlets, including The New York Times, NPR, Time Magazine, and Teen Vogue. Nicole puts her work into practice as an affiliated educator at the Center for Institutional Courage and as a co-founder of Beyond Compliance Consulting. Learn more from Nicole: https://www.nicolebedera.com/ Nicole Bedera launched her debut book, On The Wrong Side, October 8th, 2024! Order the book here. Nicole's Call To Action:  Purchase the book, preferably from an indie bookstore, and if you have any questions you want to send Nicole directly, she would love to hear them.

Pack your suitcase for a trauma trip! Kim and Kara chart new territory reflecting on alcohol consumption, Kim's Irish goodbyes at concerts, Kara's real-time unpacking of the challenges of parenting, and the compounded mental burdens that come with these responsibilities as survivors. They also discuss the concept of code-switching and its impact on identity. Kim asks listeners for a very specific birthday gift this year: urge Congress to pass the Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act. Call to Action: Urge Congress to Pass the Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act (H.R.8061/S.4514) urging the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives to authorize much-needed 2024 bridge funding for the federal Crime Victims Fund (VOCA Fund). The VOCA Fund supports the provision of essential direct services for crime victims and survivors across the country. According to the U.S. Department of Justice's Office for Victims of Crime, projected fiscal year 2024 funding for victim service grants will be $700 million lower than fiscal year 2023. The VOCA Fund was established by the Victims of Crime Act of 1984, and it is the primary financial source for victim services in all 50 states, five U.S. territories, and the District of Columbia. VOCA Fund revenue is generated from offenders convicted of crimes, not from taxes. In 2021, Congress passed the VOCA Fix Act, which allows monetary recoveries from federal deferred prosecutions and non-prosecution agreements to replenish the fund. While passage of the VOCA Fix Act was necessary, it was not sufficient to adequately shore up fund balances, and 2024 VOCA funding for crime victim service programs is anticipated to be 41% lower nationwide when compared to 2023 grant awards. Without prompt action by Congress, many victim service programs across the country may be forced to close. The VOCA Fund supports medical care, mental health counseling, lost wages, courtroom advocacy, and temporary housing for victims and survivors of crime. It also helps to fund federal, state, and tribal victim service programs, crime victim compensation, discretionary grant awards, victim specialists in U.S. Attorney's Offices and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the federal victim notification system.

Kara is on a break from social media and the impact it has on her mental health is profound. Delving into heavier topics, Kim sent Kara a Washington Post article on a Columbia, SC school resource officer who sexually abused students. Turns out, Kara worked with him.  They explore the complexities of knowing and liking someone who is later revealed to be an offender, and the importance of not making excuses for their actions. They also touch on the role of character witness statements and the power dynamics that enable predators to exploit their victims. The conversation highlights the need for accountability and the dangers of compartmentalization.  Kim and Kara also touch on the tragic school shooting in Georgia as it unfolds. The conversation covers heavy topics but emphasizes the importance of understanding different perspectives and always remaining open to new information and varying opinions.

The journey to becoming a girl's girl is not all pink and sparkles. So what exactly is a girl's girl, you may ask? Kim and Kara dive into this, together.  After the dumpster fire of a recording that was the original recording of Kim & Kara's conversation, they decided to scrap it and try again. Behold. Chapter 34, take 2. Thanks to SGTC listeners, the ladies were made aware of Snoop Dogg's self-proclaimed history with human trafficking.

Kim and Kara talk about ambiguous grief with Heather Straughter and the ways grief and trauma are so intimately cooccurring.  Heather Straughter (said like “daughter”), was a Special Education Inclusion teacher in Roxbury, Massachusetts for nearly 10 years before moving to Saratoga Springs, NY with her husband Brian and growing family. Her first child Ethan was born in 2005 and her second Jake was born in 2006. Both boys were healthy and vibrant; then, when Jake was eight months old, he had a seizure that changed the families lives forever.  They spent 117 days in the hospital before going home. At that point Jake had lost all his milestones. They continued to advocate for their son and made sure that he got the care he needed to thrive – despite the fact that doctors were never able to diagnose him. When Jake was 4-years-old he suddenly passed away. In the chaos of that grief the non-profit “Jake's Help from Heaven” was born.  In the 13 years since his death the small non-profit has awarded $1.7 Million dollars to 1,000 medically fragile individuals – mostly children – who live within a 100 mile radius of Saratoga Springs, NY. Many of them come back year after year, with new needs as they age.  Heather's story is one of resilience and determination in the face of unimaginable loss.  Heather's CTA: Listen to "A Place of Yes" Learn more from Heather: @Jakeshelp Jake's Help From Heaven _________ Join Kim and Kara's "Captive Audience" by visiting   https://www.patreon.com/SGTC.     Like what we're doing here?

If covering as many topics in one episode as possible were an Olympic sport, Kim and Kara would be taking home the gold. This week, the ladies offer a broad range (not surprising) including the Olympics, updated title IX regulations, Eminem's new album, hyper fixation hobbies, and the concept of "trad wives".  Kim and Kara discuss their experiences watching the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, seeing a diverse array of athletes' bodies, and the importance of self-acceptance. Fangirling over US Rugby star, Ilona Maher takes place which is very warranted.  Kim fully goes off while filling Kara in on the controversy surrounding a Dutch child rapist...who just happens to be participating in Olympic volleyball. They emphasize the need for accountability and support for survivors, as well as the importance of holding offenders responsible. (Since recording, this particular societal skid mark has been eliminated from the competition. Our international thanks to the Brazilian volleyball team for their service.) "The Dutch Olympic committee said Van de Velde met the conditions to return to competition after a conviction and resumed his career in 2017. “Van de Velde now meets all the qualification requirements for the Olympic Games and is therefore part of the team,” the committee said."

Kara and Kim discuss the concept of "masking" and how it relates to trauma and personal experiences. They share their own experiences of feeling the need to mask in certain situations and the impact it has on their mental and emotional well-being. They also come back to the topic of forgiveness and how it is not a condition of faith or healing, but rather a result of it. The lede gets buried, but they conclude with a discussion about recent news events and the importance of recognizing the humanity of all individuals involved.
