In this episode, I sit down with Stephen Smith, founder of the Center for Building, to uncover the labyrinthine world of building codes—how they're made, who really influences them, and why they end up stifling the very innovation and affordability we need. From the peculiarities of elevator requirements to the often overlooked role of local politics and special interests, we unpack how these complex rules shape our homes, buildings, and cities more than we might realize.TAKEAWAYSWhy Building Codes Matter: Even if you're not a builder or developer, codes dictate your home's layout, the price of housing, and whether your favorite small condo project can even get off the ground.The ICC (International Code Council) Isn't Really “International”: You'll learn how this non-governmental body, which writes most U.S. building codes, can be both extremely influential and surprisingly insular.Over-Regulation's Real-World Costs: We break down how elevator mandates, fire codes, and accessibility requirements—though well-intended—sometimes create perverse incentives that drive up costs or discourage better solutions.Local Politics & Hidden Interests: Discover how “government members” and private manufacturers shape these codes, and why your mayor or city council may have little say in regulations that affect everyone.A Path Forward: Stephen shares practical ways policymakers and citizens can get involved in reforming the system, focusing on a more human-centered approach that balances safety, cost, and beautyCHAPTERS00:00 The Challenge of Building Codes in the U.S.03:06 The Role of Building Codes in Urban Development05:46 Understanding the American Way of Building09:09 The Impact of Building Codes on Housing Costs12:09 Elevator Regulations and Their Consequences14:52 Harmonization of Codes and Standards18:11 Over-Dimensioning in American Construction21:05 Labor Issues in the Construction Industry23:57 The Need for Code Review and Justification26:49 The Tyranny of Bureaucracy in Building Codes38:49 The Grenfell Fire and Its Aftermath45:05 Design Innovations in Building Codes48:25 Understanding the ICC and Code Writing58:09 The Revolving Door: Industry and Regulation01:07:26 The Role of Government in Building Codes01:15:20 Getting Involved: Supporting Change in Building CodesCONNECT WITH STEPHENCenter for Building https://www.centerforbuilding.org/BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/stephenjacobsmith.com Email: stephen@centerforbuilding.orgMENTIONED RESOURCESElevator research: https://admin.centerforbuilding.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Elevators.pdf CONNECT WITH AUSTIN TUNNELLNewsletter: https://playbook.buildingculture.com/https://www.instagram.com/austintunnell/https://www.linkedin.com/in/austin-tunnell-2a41894a/https://twitter.com/AustinTunnellCONNECT WITH BUILDING CULTUREhttps://www.buildingculture.com/https://www.instagram.com/buildingculture/https://twitter.com/build_culturehttps://www.facebook.com/BuildCulture/SPONSORSThank you so much to the sponsors of The Building Culture Podcast!Sierra Pacific Windows: https://www.sierrapacificwindows.com/One Source Windows: https://onesourcewindows.com/

Our guest on this week's episode is Jim Bunsey, director of commercial business development at the Propane Education & Research Council, better known in the industry as PERC. With the goal of reducing carbon footprints and clearing the air, supply chain managers are seeking cleaner technologies to power their operations. Our guest shares that the full energy cycle should be considered when choosing power for material handling equipment and transportation vehicles, including the carbon footprint of the energy creation, such as power produced by fossil-burning power plants.The big news in North American supply chains this week  has been the Canadian rail stoppage. This has been a real whirlwind of huge potential damage to retail and manufacturing operations at a time when supply chains were already in somewhat vulnerable positions. Yesterday, the railroads were locked down over a labor dispute. But last night, the Canadian government stepped in to order workers to report and to resolve their labor issues with binding arbitration. How fast can the railroads get back on track and what does this mean for supply chains?Companies running large warehouses are looking for ways to improve performance and increase efficiency, all while dealing with persistent market pressures like labor shortages and space constraints. For many companies, warehouse automation is the answer to those problems. We look at two examples where automation is making a difference in warehouse operations. Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

We're celebrating Labor Day at Geek Girl Soup with a few movies and a TV show that explore various working conditions.We start with the HBO limited series “Telemarketers,” which looks at the horrors both of how telemarketing companies treat their workers, and also how these companies deal with consumers and the “nonprofits” they allegedly raise money for. This is a scrappy little series that had almost no budget. It has original footage from inside one of the earliest scummy telemarketing companies.We move on to Sally Field in “Norma Rae.” You've probably seen this Oscar-winning film in which Norma Rae helps unionize the textile factory where pretty much the entire town works.We also watched “Up in the Air,” in which George Clooney spends nine months of the years traveling the country firing people. For fun, we watched “Working Girl” and “9 to 5.” We were disappointed that “Working Girl” pits woman against women. You know, “there can be only one” women in the boys club. Sigh. But yay for the glorious sisterhood of Lily, Dolly, and Jane!You'll hear an excerpt of a discussion Susan and Kelly had with Erik C. Andersen, Hollywood editor. We talk all about the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. If you want to listen to our full interview with Erik, it will be out later this week.Next week: We're celebrating the start of Hispanic Heritage Month! -Original music by Garrett ThompsonFollow us on Instagram @GeekGirlSoupContinue the conversation on FacebookListen to Cort's podcast with Brad at PureFandom.comCheck out Susan's movie stats on Letterboxd Email your questions and comments to GeekGirlSoup@gmail.comGeek on!

Labor Law Insider host Tom Godar continues to explore the nexus of labor issues and higher education with veteran labor lawyer Tyler Paetkau of Husch Blackwell's Labor & Employment group and Jason Montgomery a member of Husch Blackwell's Higher Education group and a former NCAA investigator. Together they review NLRB General Counsel Abruzzo's guidance regarding higher education and the Northwestern University decision, which paves the way for student-athletes to argue that they are employees under the National Labor Relations Act and its state counterparts with rights of representation by unions.Our Insiders review the implications of student-athletes receiving compensation for use of their name, image and likeness (NIL) and the new decision by the NLRB's Los Angeles region to charge not only the University of Southern California but the Pac-12 Conference and the NCAA as joint employers of the student-athletes-putative employees. The podcast touches upon unions targeting college campuses, the special protection offered student-athletes under Title IX, and the potential impact of mandated equity among male and female athletes as among the new challenges facing universities and colleges. Although the large private institutions are attracting most interest, there is also recognition in the discussion that states provide organizing opportunities for students at public institutions, and even smaller institutions may ultimately be swept up in areas of traditional labor law protection if the trends already initiated by the National Labor Relations Board continue. Join us for this very thought-provoking discussion of emerging issues on college campuses and how student-athletes figure into what might become the most interesting challenge for universities, athletic conferences and even the NCAA in the coming decades.

Host Tom Godar is joined by two special guests, Tyler Paetkau and Jason Montgomery, for a special Higher Education edition of the Labor Law Insider. In this first part of a two-part podcast, the panel takes on two recent and hugely important U.S. Supreme Court decisions, Biden v. Nebraska Loan and Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard College. The first case deals with student loan forgiveness and the second takes on race-based considerations for college admissions.Jason offers an analysis of the Court's majority decisions in Students for Fair Admissions and shares how universities had anticipated this decision. In response, many institutions are changing—or at least, assessing—their current application standards. Tyler suggests that these issues may impact closely allied areas of concern, such as affirmative action and DEI policies, that have race-based components.There is also a discussion of the Biden administration's executive overreach in declaring student loans forgiven, which the Court found to be an encroachment upon congressional power. The discussion also considers alternative approaches the administration may attempt to pursue its goal of student loan forgiveness. Also in Part One of this episode, the panel explores the notion of student-athletes as employees. Tyler discusses the recent decision by the National Labor Relations Board to issue a formal complaint against the NCAA, the Pac-12 Conference, and the University of Southern California in connection with alleged unfair labor practices.These themes are further developed in Part Two of the podcast, which looks at the increased activism of unions on campus with regards to both strikes as well as organizing. Universities are advised to identify and assess opportunities to understand where union activities may arise on their campuses.

Premier's holistic balance dashboard brings together elements of hospital operations to reveal gaps, says President and CEO Mike Alkire.

In this podcast episode, the host introduces Josh Strickler, the Chief Operations Officer at Diplomat Demolition. The discussion centers around worker re-entry, a topic that has been increasingly discussed in recent years but has not been covered on the podcast before. Strickler shares his experiences and insights on employing veterans and individuals who are reentering the workforce after incarceration. He talks about how Diplomat Demolition started working with organizations like Impact Services and the Montgomery County correctional facility to hire individuals from these backgrounds. Strickler emphasizes the positive impact these individuals have had on the company, their strong work ethic, and the low turnover rate. Strickler also discusses the benefits of having a consistent labor force through work release programs and the value of re-entry programs in providing support and training for individuals transitioning back into society.Work release programs provide a consistent labor force for companies with seasonal fluctuations.

Just last month, the railway industry narrowly averted a strike that would've resulted in more than 100,000 railway workers walking off the job. This dispute over pay, hours and working conditions would've shut down the U.S. railway system, costing billions of dollars in lost revenue from commuter travel and a stall in commodities and goods shipments. Over the past year, headlines covering workers striking or pushing to unionize have become commonplace. What's driving this labor revolt? Stay tuned this week.

Happy Labor Day weekend 2022: TRP Episode 85 TRP's Labor Day guest today is once again Dr. Arik Greenberg, Ph.D. He's writing a book. We talk at length about Dr. Greenberg's memoir that he's writing that gets into some detail of his family of origin. It mixes with Theology, which is his academic specialty. Then we continue talking about Academic Labor issues, Unions, etc. from our earlier episode 23, published March 11, 2022: available here on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmdTh2QiS9o and Episode 24 on Apple Podcasts available here : https://www.therepublicanprofessor.com/2022/03/12/episode-24-faculty-part-time-tenure-labor-issues-special-guest-dr-arik-greenberg-ph-d-of-loyola-marymount-university-la/ This is the second part of a multi-episode extended set of conversations on Faculty Labor Issues in Higher Education with our special guest today, Dr. Arik Greenberg, Clinical Professor of Theology at Loyola Marymount University, Lost Angeles. Dr. Greenberg is a distinguished, seasoned faculty member on Lost Angeles college campuses and brings a wealth of experience not only in teaching and administration but also in union organizing and peace march demonstrations. This topic of academic labor can get very complicated very quickly, but there is no other dialogue partner I can think of that can rise to that challenge with as much grace and humility as can Professor Greenberg. We are truly delighted that he stopped by to say a hi and stay awhile to continue into the weeds a bit on this topic. And we do continue in some details, some specific numbers, so you can get a feel for what "part-time" professors get paid to teach college in Lost Angeles Ventura, and Orange County, California in recent decades. The Republican Professor is a pro-improving-Faculty-Labor-Issues-on-Campus, pro-making-college-great-again podcast. To move forward we have to listen carefully to each other and learn from each other, to forge relationships that are resilient enough to perdure through time. The Republican Professor welcomes Dr. Arik Greenberg ! The Republican Professor is produced and hosted by Dr. Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D. Happy Labor Day weekend from TRP Here are links to the documents referenced by Dr. Greenberg at almost the 2 hour mark: https://edlabor.house.gov/imo/media/doc/1.24.14-AdjunctEforumReport.pdf and https://pullias.usc.edu/download/imperative-change-fostering-understanding-necessity-changing-non-tenure-track-faculty-policies-practices/?wpdmdl=13873&refresh=62bd03d0771fc1656554448

According to Reuters, a subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Co has used child labor at a plant that supplies parts for the Korean carmaker's assembly line in nearby Montgomery, Alabama, according to area police, the family of three underage workers, and eight former and current employees of the factory. The subsidiary Smart says SMART, in a statement, said it follows federal, state and local laws and "denies" any allegation that it knowingly employed anyone who is ineligible for employment." The company said it relies on temporary work agencies to fill jobs and expects "these agencies to follow the law in recruiting, hiring, and placing workers on its premises.".

Chad Hendricks is the founder and president of Brand Outcomes, an agency focused on helping businesses recruit and retain truck drivers.  He also hosts the podcast “Recruit and Retain: Trucking Edition” on the same topic.
