Podcasts about fair pay

Send us Fan Mail£12,500 in your pocket today sounds like relief, but what if the price is your state pension arriving a year later? We get into the Citizens Advance proposal making waves in the UK and ask the real question underneath the headlines: do younger generations still believe retirement is guaranteed, or does it feel like the goalposts keep moving until there is nothing left to reach?From there, I go deeper into something more personal and more uncomfortable: how faith can support you, and how it can also become a cage when it turns into rigid thinking and public performance. Using the way relationship breakdowns play out online, I talk about boundaries, discernment, and why “God told me” cannot replace self-trust, evidence, and honest reflection. We also touch on the pressure many women carry around marriage timelines, modesty culture, and the difference between wanting partnership and being consumed by it.We zoom out to the systems shaping all of this: the cost of living crisis, frozen tax thresholds, the daily stress of bills, and the frustration of paying into services that feel hard to access. Along the way, I break down pension basics people often miss, why marketing claims like “100% leak-free” matter in women's health, and why collective action and unions often achieve what individual complaining cannot. If you care about financial literacy, workplace reality, women's confidence, and critical thinking, this one will land.Subscribe, share with your group chat, and leave a review if the conversation hits home. Would you take the £12,500 or protect the pension year?Sponsorships - Email me:  hello@toyatalks.comTikTok:  toya_washington Twitter: @toya_w (#ToyaTalksPodcast) Snapchat: @toyawashington Instagram: @toya_washington & @toya_talkshttps://toyatalks.com/Music (Intro and Outro) Written and created by Nomadic StarStationary Company: Sistah ScribbleInstagram: @sistahscribbleWebsite: www.sistahscribble.com Email: hello@sistahscribble.com

In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Dana Hollifleld, a nurse with over 20 years of experience, to discuss how government policies are impacting healthcare workers and patients alike. After working in multiple states, Dana noticed a stark difference when she arrived in Alabama—limited job options, suppressed wages, and reduced patient choice due to hospital monopolies reinforced by certificate of need (CON) laws. Instead of accepting the status quo, she took action—organizing her peers, demanding transparency, and pushing for change. Her efforts helped secure pay raises for healthcare workers and sparked a broader movement to challenge restrictive regulations that limit competition and innovation in healthcare. This episode highlights how one person's decision to speak up can create real change—and why expanding choice and transparency in healthcare is critical for better outcomes for both patients and providers.

Australia's largest survey into migrant working conditions has exposed alarming evidence of widespread and systemic wage underpayment. The report, released by the Migrant Justice Initiative, found that two-thirds of migrant workers are earning less than their legal entitlements under the Fair Work Act, while international students alone are losing an estimated $3.18 billion in unpaid wages each year. Researchers say the findings also shed important new light on the tactics employers are using to hide and perpetuate workplace exploitation.

Jessica joins us to explore what fairness really means in a global workforce spanning 120+ countries. Drawing on more than 20 years in Total Reward, Jessica advocates that fairness cannot rely on manager discretion or good intentions alone - it has to be designed through clear frameworks, consistency and transparency – all powerful drivers of trust, fairness and organisational credibility. Sharing how Deel approaches equitable pay at scale, Jessica explains how standardised compensation for high-volume roles balances with local context and regulation, and reflects on the growing impact of pay transparency, already happening through social media, whether organisations are ready for it or not. Looking to the future of HR, Jessica makes the case for stronger commercial capability within the profession. From partnering closely with finance and sales teams to using AI for faster insight and better decision-making, Jessica believes HR's influence grows when it understands how the business makes money.  Thank you to Deel for sponsoring this episode.

In this episode, Leslie speaks with Andy Ferris, a longtime animal care specialist at Brookfield Zoo and a member of the Teamsters 727 bargaining committee, about an ongoing labor dispute that could lead to a strike. Andy shares what's happening behind the scenes as workers negotiate with the Chicago Zoological Society over staffing levels, safety concerns, wages, and health care. Despite decades of service, many workers are being asked to accept minimal raises while facing rising costs—and potential cuts to long-standing health benefits. For example, workers were offered less than 4% raises, while the CEO's compensation increased by over 70%!  The conversation also addresses one of the public's biggest concerns: the well-being of the animals. Andy explains how workers have contingency plans in place to ensure animals are cared for, while also raising concerns about existing staffing shortages that could already be impacting safety. Finally, the discussion pushes back on claims from management that higher wages would drive up ticket prices, highlighting broader questions about priorities, cost of living, and how institutions value the people who keep them running. It's a candid look at a high-stakes labor fight—one that impacts workers, families, and the animals they care for every day. For more than 100 years, Teamsters Local 727 has represented the hardworking men and women of the Greater Chicago area. They currently represent nearly 10,000 members across a multitude of industries, from bus drivers to trade show workers, pharmacists to zookeepers, funeral directors to parking industry workers. Their top priority is serving the needs of their members, and they firmly believe that a united union is a strong union.

Can you afford to say yes to God? I know that question might make you uncomfortable—because it's made me uncomfortable. We talk a lot about trust, about saying yes to the Lord, about living on mission… but when it comes to finances, security, and taking care of our families, it can feel like the cost is just too high. In today's episode of The Equip Cast, I sit down with Peter Levesque Xavier to talk honestly about what happens when we stop asking, “Can I afford this?” and start asking, “Lord, do I trust You?” This conversation is about freedom, healing our relationship with money, and discovering that God is already providing a way for His mission—and your yes—to be possible.

Send us Fan MailSomeone can do everything “right” at work and still get blindsided by an office bully, a microaggressive comment, or a private Teams thread that was never meant to reach you. We're not pretending that's fair. We're talking about what to do next, how to stay strategic, and how to protect your credibility without spending your whole life sat in HR.We start with the reality of workplace bullying and the systems that quietly enable it, then move into practical career strategy: building a feedback folder, collecting performance evidence, and using it to plan a smart internal move. I share why internal mobility matters right now, how to create allies beyond your line manager, and how to position your impact so the approval becomes hard to refuse.Then we get candid about “brand protection” in real time. When unprofessional comments land in your lap, you need a response that sets the tone fast and keeps you in control. We also go deeper on identity at work, why copying isn't always flattery, and what it means to bet on yourself when the room isn't built for you.From there, we challenge Emma Grede's claim that working from home is killing women's careers, with a clear look at visibility, privilege, childcare realities, and remote networking. We also connect the dots to bigger power dynamics, from government vetting controversies to Vogue rebranding an Afro puff as a “cloud bob”, and why naming, credit, and process matter.If you care about workplace politics, internal promotion, remote work, personal brand, and navigating microaggressions with strategy, press play.

Send us Fan MailThe Link Between Fair Pay and Team ProsperityWhen insurance companies dictate fees and force write-offs, the first people to feel it aren't the executives in corporate headquarters, it's the dental teams.When practices lose thousands every month due to unfair reimbursements, that's money that can't go toward staff raises, bonuses, continuing education, technology, or cotton rolls.But when we passed laws that protect fair pay, from ending forced write-offs to banning bundling, that money stays where it belongs. Practices can finally reinvest in their people.We've seen offices increase wages, offer benefits, and even shorten workweeks because they're no longer working twice as hard just to break even. That's a win for everyone.Support the show

In this episode, we break down the economics of eating out: hidden costs, real margins, shrinkflation, and why rising prices are forcing restaurants to rethink “value.” From smaller fry portions to surging brisket costs driven by fuel and cattle prices, we talk about how menus are changing, including pivots toward proteins like pork or lamb just to stay afloat.Then we go beyond the plate and into kitchen culture, calling out the old abusive hierarchies and making the case for integrity, accountability, and sustainable practices that protect both people and the craft.

Send a textThe news cycle is screaming, the cost of living is climbing, and somehow we are still expected to perform at full capacity. I sit with that tension out loud, starting with the fear and uncertainty around the Iran conflict, the way power plays get framed, and how ordinary people end up carrying the fallout through stress, disruption and constant unease.Then I bring it back home to what real life looks like behind the scenes: motherhood that is beautiful and confronting, grief that does not wait for a convenient moment, and the quiet work of reparenting yourself while raising a child. I share the idea that happiness is not a fixed personality trait but pockets of happiness you build, protect and repeat, especially when the world feels heavy.From there we go deep on workplace mediocrity and why Black women often do not get to be average. We talk competence threat, the exhaustion of doing strategic labour for rooms that resist raised standards, and the hard truth that you cannot shrink your competence to make other people comfortable. I also unpack what's happening with Black-owned businesses like Hanifa and Plantmade, the reality of cash flow, pre-orders and infrastructure, and why communication is not optional when customer trust is on the line.If you want honest commentary on work, money, culture and how to stay grounded while still moving forward, press play.

Chef Geoff Davis opened Burdell in Oakland to cook the soul food his grandmothers made — a distinct American cuisine rooted in migration and adaptation rather than Southern tradition. In 2024, Food & Wine named it the "Restaurant of the Year." But it was a 20% service fee at the bottom of Burdell's receipts that recently started a national conversation about labor, class, and whether we've ever really reckoned with the history of tipping.

Dominic Piscopo's journey in accounting started at a Big Four firm in Canada, where he discovered his firm was paying its employees well below the average in his area. We look back at his conversation with John Randolph on CPA Life Rewind Episode 87 about how that experience, among others, led to him launching Big 4 Transparency, a platform which tracks salary data in the profession. Dom talks about Big 4 Transparency's transformation from community project to full-time venture as a result of his feeling a "social responsibility" to supply this information for free to the community while taking on firm clients who want to understand where their offerings stand in the marketplace. Underscoring the strategic use of timely data to attract and retain talent, Dom talks about how transparent compensation practices can promote employee satisfaction and prevent wage stagnation, benefiting firms of all sizes.

Send us a textPower makes itself felt in our bills, our jobs, and our beliefs and this week we trace that line from Arctic ice to everyday life. We unpack why Greenland has become a pressure point, how tariff threats could ripple through British businesses, and what a fraying “special relationship” means for a post‑Brexit UK with less leverage at the table. It's not just geopolitics; it's the cost of silence, the value of sovereignty, and the real climate stakes as ice sheets melt and shipping routes open to new competition.Culture mirrors power too. Drewski's viral church skit hits because it spotlights a truth many have lived: pastors dressed in luxury while congregations struggle to eat. We share raw personal stories of seeking refuge and finding exploitation, and we ask what modesty, stewardship, and care should look like when faith is put into practice. The point isn't to sneer at belief; it's to defend community against grift and to reclaim the simple standard that leadership serves people first.Then we shift to the world of work and name a trap many high earners won't admit: golden handcuffs. When a salary outpaces learning, mobility shrinks and fear grows. We offer a practical path forward extract skills that translate across industries, win visible outcomes tied to money or risk, build a small parallel income stream, and document impact so you hold leverage before burnout hits. For women, especially Black women navigating under promotion and overexposure, that strategy is protection. Pair it with urgent up-skilling in AI and data to avoid a new divide: technological inequality layered on top of pay gaps.If this resonated, tap follow, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review.

Every time India's delivery workers surface in the news — whether for earning Rs 762 after a 15-hour shift and 28 deliveries, or for being forced to walk nearly a kilometre into an apartment complex because security won't let their bike through — we're invited to examine our consciences. In this familiar run-around, we look on with appropriate distress, urge each other to tip generously, and make the effort to walk down to the gate. Watch ThePrint columnist Karanjeet Kaur explains 'How platforms that manufactured a culture of 10-minute delivery have now made consumers an equal party to the exploitation of workers.'.

UMAW (the United Musicians and Allied Workers) is a labor organization that 'Aims to organize music workers to fight for a more just music industry and to join with other workers in the struggle for a better society.' Their campaigns include Fair Pay at SXSW, #MyMerch (raising awareness of venues taking an unfair cut), Justice at Spotify, and probably most prominently, The Living Wage For Musicians Act sponsored by Rep Rashida Tlaib in the US Congress currently. We talk with a representative from UMAW - Damon Krukowski (a working musician, and a founder of late 80's indie rocker band Galaxie 500) about who UMAW is, what they are fighting for, and how we can all join the fight.Get more access and support this show by subscribing to our Patreon, right here.Links:UMAWGalaxie 500‘Why Sound Matters'Ep 126 - Yancey StricklerAFMSAG-AFTRALiving Wage for Musicians ActClick here to watch this conversation on YouTube.Social Media:The Other 22 Hours InstagramThe Other 22 Hours TikTokMichaela Anne InstagramAaron Shafer-Haiss InstagramAll music written, performed, and produced by Aaron Shafer-Haiss.

Send us a textPolicy shapes pay packets, childcare, heating bills, and even how we move around our cities. We break down Rachel Reeves' Autumn Budget without jargon, showing how frozen thresholds create fiscal drag, why dividend and property tax hikes shift the balance toward taxing wealth, and how ISA changes nudge under 65s into risk. We look at the upside too, scrapping the two child cap, targeted help on energy bills, a rare freeze on rail fares, and what the new EV per‑mile charge means for the future of funding our roads and the reality of going electric.Power is shifting in entertainment as well. With Paramount Skydance launching a hostile bid for Warner Bros Discovery and outbidding Netflix, we explore what consolidation means for the streaming wars, catalogue control, and your monthly subscriptions. Culture isn't only created; it's distributed, priced, and fenced off, and those decisions ripple through what stories get made and who gets to see them.Safety and dignity are non negotiable. We spotlight the British Transport Police's silent text service 61016 so you can discreetly report harassment on the Tube, and we talk candidly about luxury retail bias versus glossy representation, even as A$AP Rocky fronts Chanel. In the workplace, we share a tactical playbook for handling an aggressive senior colleague: set boundaries, document meticulously, build public advocates, and use policy to protect yourself.

Tune in to hear the full story of how I turned those rejections around and came out better on the other side.FREE WEBINAR: Get a Raise in Any Economy! Register via thefirstgencoach.com/webinar!

Send us a textIn a world where your voice can be weaponized against you, knowing when to speak and when to stand firm in silence becomes a crucial skill. This episode unpacks the delicate balance of self-advocacy in both professional settings and wider society, where particularly for Black women, calculated strategy often proves more powerful than reactive responses.Toya introduces her groundbreaking "Three Pillars of Career Protection" framework, a comprehensive system of documentation that transforms how professionals can safeguard their careers and advocate for themselves. Through detailed explanations of the Receipts Folder (positive feedback), Burn Folder (policy breaches and micro-aggressions), and Blueprint Folder (measurable impact), she provides listeners with concrete tools to build leverage, gather evidence, and create armour against workplace injustice.Through powerful personal stories from being clock-watched during bathroom breaks to challenging the adultification of her daughter at nursery – Toya illustrates how systemic issues manifest in daily interactions and offers practical strategies for countering them. She shares how she coached a listener through workplace discrimination, resulting in meaningful change through strategic documentation rather than emotional confrontation.The episode also examines broader societal tensions, from the TFL and Birmingham bin worker strikes to political turmoil within the Labour Party, connecting these external struggles to workplace dynamics. Toya explores Gen Z's shift toward "career minimalism" separating identity from employment while pursuing passion outside work hours – and considers how this adaptation might better serve professionals in an AI-disrupted future.With both urgency and compassion, Toya reminds us that establishing and defending our boundaries isn't optional it's essential. "If you start allowing your boundaries to accommodate shit, you will always be presented with shit sandwiches." Her insights empower listeners to build their professional reputation through consistent excellence while creating systems that ensure this excellence can't be overlooked or undervalued. Remember, advocating for yourself isn't always about being confrontational  it's about systematically documenting your value, protecting your boundaries, and ensuring you receive the recognition and compensation you deserve.What will you do this week to strengthen your career protection toolkit?Sponsorships - Email me: hello@toyatalks.com Cc: toyawashington10@gmail.comTikTok: toya_washington Twitter: @toya_w (#ToyaTalksPodcast) Snapchat: @toyawashington Instagram: @toya_washington & @toya_talks www.toyatalks.comhttps://toyatalks.com/ Music (Intro and Outro) Written and created by Nomadic Star Stationary Company - Sistah Scribble Instagram @sistahscribble Website: www.sistahscribble.com

Minimum wage in Oklahoma has been $7.25 since 2009 and for years that's exactly what I paid my assistants. Later, I raised it to $10 an hour… and nothing changed. So why do salon owners feel pressured to pay assistants “well above” minimum wage?In this episode, I'm sharing the pros, cons, and my perspective on paying assistants minimum wage, how to set pay based on your numbers (not guilt), and why your culture and education matter far more than the hourly rate.What You'll Learn:The real pros and cons of minimum wage payHow to calculate what your salon can actually affordWhy assistants don't choose salons based on $1–$4/hour differencesSimple ways assistants can earn more beyond base payMy POV: pay what's sustainable and release the guiltKey TakeawayAssistants don't join your team for a paycheck, they join for your leadership, culture, and training. Build a program so clear and valuable that growth opportunities, not just wages, make them feel invested.Suggest podcast topics here ⤵️ https://forms.gle/ThasbxyzUSVv6i2w8Follow us on social!Instagram: @lacey_geboFacebook: The New Era of Assistant Training 

Send us a textThe Transport for London strikes have sparked heated debate, but before rushing to judgment, we need to examine why workers feel forced to take such actions. When peaceful protest options are systematically limited and negotiations fail, strikes become the necessary tool for demanding fair treatment. These workers form the backbone of our infrastructure – shouldn't their compensation reflect that essential role?This week I share a conversation with a colleague that exposed a £5K bonus disparity despite my heavier workload and responsibilities. The experience highlights how secrecy around compensation creates fertile ground for favoritism and discrimination to flourish unchallenged. What happens when we start having these uncomfortable but necessary conversations about pay transparency? I'm taking you behind the scenes of how I'm navigating this situation strategically rather than emotionally.The most liberating concept I've encountered recently comes from Stephanie Tyler's article "The Quiet Thrill of Not Being for Everyone." How many of us have spent years performing versions of ourselves, carefully packaging our truths to be palatable to others? This continuous shape-shifting amounts to "a long-form apology for who you are." The freedom that comes from embracing authenticity – even when it means not everyone will like you – represents a profound shift in how we navigate our professional and personal lives.From Angela Rayner's resignation and the leadership lessons it provides, to disappointments with Apple's innovation, to Cardi B's courtroom victory against frivolous claims – each story offers insights into standing your ground and protecting what matters. I also introduce the concept of "job hugging" and why protecting your business ideas legally has never been more important.Referenced Article:The Quiet Thrill of Not Being For Everyonehttps://www.wildbarethoughts.com/p/the-quiet-thrill-of-not-being-forThe Toya Talks podcast is evolving with a new logo, consistent Wednesday episodes, and increased social media presence.

Fair pay means nothing if no one believes it. That's the wake-up call from Payscale's latest Fair Pay Impact Report. Despite rising wages, transparency laws, and improved market conditions, employees don't believe they're being paid fairly—and it's costing businesses their best people. In this episode of Comp and Coffee, host Ruth Thomas is joined by Lexi Clarke and Kate Peter—three women in the C-suite who are putting fair pay back at the top of the agenda. They unpack what the data tells us, what it feels like as leaders, and what needs to happen next.

Dental assistant pay is one of the most talked-about issues in the industry right now, and for good reason. A surprising 47% of dental assistants feel they aren't being compensated fairly, yet many don't know what fair pay actually looks like in their area. That's where today's guest, Garrett Wilson, CEO of Pay Insights, comes in. His company is working to bring real data on dental assistant salary to the industry so that professionals can understand what they should be earning. In this episode, we take a deep dive into pay in dentistry and why compensation varies so much based on location. Many assume that working in a big city means higher wages, but some rural practices are actually paying more to compete for talent. Understanding these trends is key to making informed career decisions. If you've ever wondered whether your salary in dentistry is where it should be, this episode will give you the insights you need. Beyond location, we also discuss why dental assistant pay isn't just about time served—it's about showing your value, knowing how your practice is performing financially, and backing up your salary request with real data. Many assistants love their jobs, but without proper compensation, job satisfaction can only go so far. That's why it's critical to have open, data-driven conversations about dental assistant salary with employers. If you're thinking about negotiating a raise, or just want to know where you stand in terms of pay in dentistry, don't miss this episode. Garrett shares how his company is crowdsourcing salary in dentistry data to help assistants, hygienists, and office staff advocate for themselves. The best way to understand your worth is by comparing your dental assistant salary to what others in your area are earning.

A conversation with Charlotte Pineda and Dr. Joe Cheng

It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma speak with Tyler Vasseur, shop steward with the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) Branch 9, to discuss the tentative agreement being negotiated between the NALC and the United States Postal Service (USPS). First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Ukraine's use of US-made missiles in Russia, the Gaetz report, Trump's cabinet of predators, the DNC, House and Senate politics, US arms to Israel, genocide in Gaza, Musk/Bezos v. NLRB, and the Stop Terror Financing Bill, before watching Senator George Helmy's emotional plea to the UN. Tyler Vasseur then joins, first outlining the breadth of the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) representation, before walking through the evolution of their ongoing fight for a fair contract, beginning with the expiration of their previous contract on May 20th, 2023 – touching on the major shortcomings of this contract's Cost of Living Adjustments (COLA), particularly in the wake of the COVID pandemic and rampant inflation – and through over five hundred days of closed-door negotiations with Union Leadership, only for said leadership to announcement a new contract with a wage increase of a meager 1.3%. After diving deeper into the numbers behind this raise, Vasseur parses through the reaction of NALC members to this supposed “victory,” particularly as an anti-union Trump presidency threatens future victories, and how the rank-and-file is organizing to keep the fight for a fair contract going. He, Sam, and Emma also touch on the distinct fight NALC faces working with USPS, and the major problem of making workers, not management, responsible for keeping profits in line, before wrapping up the show by tackling what we can do to help this labor effort from the outside. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma look at the meaningful personal growth shown by folks like Markwayne Mullin and Joe Scarborough over the past year, going from openly denouncing fascists like Matt Gaetz and Donald Trump, respectively, to happily celebrating the future of their relationship to said fascists, before diving deep into the ongoing DNC implosion and what the future of the Party is likely to entail. They also give some updates on Rudy Giuliani's legal woes, talk with Joshua from CT about RFK's insane MAHA agenda and with A-Squared about progressive turnout, and tackle the importance of labeling fascists “fascist,” and Nazis “nazi,” plus, your calls and IMs!
