To kick it off right, we wanted to say "top of the mornin' to ye ''' but seeing as how that's just a silly Hollywood invention, we are instead going to say "A hundred thousand welcomes."    Before we get into the meat and potatoes of this episode, I reached out to a friend of ours, Katie, who's father is directly from Ireland. I asked her to see if he had any sort of creepy interactions over there. She also reached out to a cousin who lives over there and I received this message, this morning:   Oh boy I hit the jackpot reaching out to my cousins in Ireland I had no idea about this but here's her message.    Ohhh some that I've heard, well as it happens

Activision Blizzard's year of news appearances is almost unbelievable, but perhaps none more so than the announcement that Microsoft and Xbox is purchasing them for just under $70 BILLION in cash. But now that unionization is officially something Activision has to consider, is the reorganization of QA across Raven Software really as benign as the company is suggesting? QA and Raven both are now embedded in a Warzone of their own making, literally...in Virtual Legality.

The highly contagious omicron variant has brought new daily COVID-19 case numbers to record highs this month. The magnitude of infections have again left many hospitals under tremendous pressure and on the brink. In Texas, where just 58 percent of the state is fully vaccinated, hospitalizations have risen dramatically -- by 80 percent in some cities like San Antonio. Amna Nawaz reports.

How inflation is wiping out pay raises. Plus, how Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin's mask mandate ban has plunged Virginia's public schools into chaos. Read more:After years of barely budging, wage growth is finally at its highest level in decades. Workers have more negotiating power than many ever imagined, and average hourly wages rose 4.7 percent last year. But, as economics correspondent Abha Bhattarai explains, the same strong recovery that is emboldening workers is also driving up inflation, leaving most Americans with less spending power than they had a year ago.Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) banned mask mandates in public schools recently. Now, school districts are suing in the name of science. National education writer Laura Meckler says this is not an isolated incident. Many states are dealing with a fight to either support mask mandates or parents' rights.

Have you recently quit your job? Wanted to quit? Still plan to quit? We ask because in recent months, Texas has been racking up huge numbers of job quitters. In just three months, 1,280,000 Texans said I quit…I resign…see y'all later…take this job and shove it. It looks like many of them aren't headed to South Padre to kick back at the beach…or to the Texas Hill Country to sip wine and hike the rolling hills. Many of them have just headed right across the street to a new employer who will pay them more, and maybe even throw in some crazy bonuses. Workers are in demand. So much so that some new employees aren't even showing up to their first day of work with a new employer because they've already landed another job that's more lucrative! So how do companies know how much to pay? Will salaries keep rising here? And how do you talk your boss into giving you a raise, so you don't have to find a new job just to get a decent bump in pay? This week the Jasons are picking the brain of Jay Denton, whose Dallas-based labor market analytics firm Labor IQ by ThinkWhy probably has a good idea of how much money you make---and they are telling Texas companies how much they need to pay to lure you…or to keep you. So how are those companies responding?

Among the topics covered: How many health care workers are leaving their jobs or considering doing so;The conditions health care workers face as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic;The psychological harm experienced by those who work in these conditionsThe political causes of the challenges facing health care workers;How altruism infects people's view of health care workers;Whether the unvaccinated are wholly to blame for the situation;The role of health care workers' own acceptance of altruism in their “moral distress”;The moral attitude health care workers should have;The gulf between altruism's positive reputation and its destructive effects;How we should view people who seek health care after making unhealthy choices.

2nd anniversary of the Pandemic. Steve Cuozzo interview

There's a new hit item on the menu at Starbucks stores across the country: a signed union card. The workers at multiple Buffalo, NY-area Starbucks stores formed Starbucks Workers United this August, in response to dangerous COVID working conditions, unequal pay, and inadequate benefits. In less than half a year, they've managed to already unionize two Buffalo-area stores, in Elmwood and in Genesee, at a company notoriously aggressive in their anti-union tactics. This is huge, a game-changing pair of victories — even in a year full of strikes and COVID walkouts. To hear the story of how these incredible Starbucks Workers United organized this victory, and how you can organize your workplace, Michael talked with the Starbucks workers Jaz Brisack & Casey Moore — or, as the Orwellian Starbucks PR calls them, “partners” — two young women who helped lead the organizing effort and succeeded in slaying the giant. During the interview, Casey and Jaz encouraged Michael to cold-call the CEO of Starbucks. And when he does, someone in Nicaragua picks up the phone. A true Rumble moment. ******** Help the workers of Starbucks get the fair pay, benefits, and protections they deserve: Contact Starbucks' Customer Support line and let them know that, as a customer, you demand that Starbucks stop trying to interfere in the Union organizing efforts.

The history of the British communist novel is ultimately the story of the political degeneration of the Communist Party of Great Britain. By Lawrence Parker. Narration by LC.

In this episode of The Power Producers Podcast, David Carothers and co-host Kyle Houck interview Kevin Ring from the Institute of WorkComp Professional. Kevin discusses Workers' Compensation and loss runs. Episode Highlights: Kevin answers David's question about why loss runs have not been standardized. (4:37) Kevin finds that the least useful information on the loss run is often the employee's class code. (6:32) Kevin shares that the process of getting loss runs from carriers has not changed in 25 years. (12:39) Kevin recalls one situation where regardless of the severity of the injury the lag time for the claim was more than 30 days. (19:33) Kevin talks about the importance of looking at injury reporting and other issues before trying to build a recovery at work program. (21:00) Tweetable Quotes: "If people are ditching out of work for two weeks before they even tell you that they're hurt, then you're probably not going to get the biggest bang for your buck on building a recovery at work program until you fix that injury reporting issue. So, you've got to find all the different things and then you can start to identify what you are going to attack first." - Kevin Ring "If a company's loss runs don't have the information that you want or need, stop asking for a loss run, and ask them for a loss information report and tell them the specific information that you want." - Kevin Ring Resources Mentioned: Kevin Ring LinkedIn Institute of WorkComp Professional David Carothers Kyle Houck Florida Risk Partners The Extra 2 Minutes

Workers across the country are wondering with increasing desperation: Will the COVID crisis ever end? Two years after the first case of the virus was detected, society is becoming increasingly, bitterly divided over how to address this crucial question. All the while the death toll continues to mount. The situation is not hopeless. Although right wing demagogues have slowed the vaccination process and intensified the spread of the virus by sowing doubt about the most basic public health measures, it is still possible to end the pandemic. We can look at other countries for examples of why this is true. Socialist countries like China and Cuba have successfully contained COVID, despite huge difficulties. Even though it was the country where the virus struck first, China prevented its uncontrolled spread through a massive, centralized public health response that included guaranteeing workers the necessities of life like food and shelter. Adjusted for population size, the death toll in the United States is approximately 850 times higher than in China.

How do you truly honor birth? Dr. Nathan Riley joins us for the second time on the podcast. First time was back in 2019, and a lot of life has changed for him. For one thing, he's welcomed both of his daughters into the world. And today we talk about the home birth of the youngest (about 5 weeks old at the time of this interview). Nathan shares his perspective of the experience, as a father, partner and physician. Nathan also talks about the space he holds for birth and how he has evolved from an OBGYN practicing in the hospital to a more lifestyle medicine approach where he supports both parents and birth workers. The nuggets in this episode are too many to count and drop at such a rapid rate. You might need to hit pause and rewind a few times, that's how powerful it is! Things we talk about in this episode: hospital model of care, hospital birth, home birth story, fast labor and delivery, trusting and bearing witness to birth, awesome resources around holistic birth, Nathan's journey as a doctor, questioning the medical system Links: Nathan's website: https://www.belovedholistics.com/ DIAH Episode 243 with Dr. Riley - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/doing-it-at-home/id1153134918?i=1000454516925 Doing It At Home book on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3vJcPmU DIAH website: https://www.diahpodcast.com/ DIAH Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doingitathome/ DIAH YouTube: https://bit.ly/3pzuzQC DIAH Store: https://yoursuccessfulhomebirth.com/ DIAH Merch: https://bit.ly/3qhwgAe  Give Back to DIAH: https://bit.ly/3qgm4r9

In this episode of The Power Producers Podcast, David Carothers and co-host Kyle Houck interview Kevin Ring, COO & Lead Workers' Compensation Analyst at the Institute of WorkComp Professionals. Kevin shares how the Institute of WorkComp Professionals helps to train, certify, and mentor independent agents in a Workers' Comp process that helps them write more business and get better results for their clients.    Episode Highlights: Kevin shares that he is the Lead worker's comp analyst with the Institute of WorkComp Professionals. (2:50) Kevin mentions that the firm was founded in October of 2001. (3:21) Kevin believes that mentorship is what differentiates what they do. (3:40) Kevin explains that he began retaining all of the mod worksheets that he evaluated ten years ago. (8:36) Kevin mentions that Workers' Compensation is the second-largest check they make for insurance, behind health insurance. (10:55) Kevin believes that if a company has the right strategy, methods, and an agent to support them, it can dominate a large portion of the market. (11:55) Kevin thinks that the first thing we were all taught about selling was that the potential client must understand what's in it for them. (18:08) Kevin explains that lowering their payments provides them with more income to perform what they do. (19:39) Kevin thinks that the output of a piece of software may equip them with any level of knowledge. (23:43) Kevin agrees that it is necessary to have an employer who is willing to execute the job. (16:01) Tweetable Quotes: “Every single time you have an injury or every year in your program, it's not that everything's gonna go perfectly, but when it doesn't, you can generally identify why it doesn't go well.” - Kevin Ring “It's a problem that we have, that people have allowed themselves, either intentionally or unintentionally, to believe that the output of a piece of software provides them any degree of expertise,” - Kevin Ring “There's just so many opportunities for them to reduce what they're paying, which ultimately gives them more capital to do what it is they're in the business of doing rather than just giving the insurance company more money.” - Kevin Ring Resources Mentioned: Kevin Ring LinkedIn Institute of WorkComp Professionals David Carothers Kyle Houck Florida Risk Partners The Extra 2 Minutes

Workers all around the country can breathe a sigh of relief as the supreme court has blocked the OSHA vaccine and testing mandate for companies with 100 or more employees. The health care industry wasn't so fortunate.

The conservative majority of justices on the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday blocked President Biden's COVID vaccination policy, stating that the administration had overstepped its authority with the rule, which would've applied to more than 80 million workers.
