Nine out of ten people seeking jobs say they have a side hustle — a second or even third job. An Express Employment Professionals-Harris Poll from October 2025 also says a higher percentage of younger job-seekers — Gen Z and Millennials —expect to be able to overlap their side jobs on company time. Money is a major factor - and the Bureau of Labor and Statistics reported this year that more employers are cutting hours. We'll talk with some of those who are working multiple jobs about the ups and downs of juggling a side hustle.

UPS is currently stuck between dropping parcel rates, rising union leverage, and stiff competition from their peers. Unlike their peers, UPS is unionized (part of the Teamsters), adding additional complexity and bottom-line pressure. Not one to give up after 120 years in business, UPS has been looking for creative ways to make ends meet without disappointing the public. They created a massive buyout opportunity for drivers and have been working with gig drivers to handle spikes in seasonal volume without paying expensive overtime. Both strategies are saving them money, but running afoul of the Teamsters in the process. In this episode of the Art of Supply podcast, Kelly Barner looks at UPS's challenges and the creative options they are trying in response: Leveraging gig drivers while warning against the danger of a loosely-managed final mile Introducing automation where they can, shutting warehouses where they can't Working to maintain a premium delivery service in a world dominated by low-cost eCommerce volume Links: Negotiating the Big One: UPS and the Teamsters Labor Union Kelly Barner on LinkedIn Art of Supply LinkedIn newsletter  Art of Supply on AOP Subscribe to This Week in Procurement

Synopsis:  In a call to action, Sara Nelson urges workers to move beyond defense and set the agenda for change, declaring "our world is burning" but asserting that collective power can be used to create a better future.Make a tax deductible YEAR END DONATION and become a member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate. This show is made possible by you! Description [original release date July 2025]: Sara Nelson knows how to leverage worker power — and so do the 55,000 flight attendants she represents. A union member since 1996, she's been the International President of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO since 2014. You may remember her integral role in threatening a strike, which helped pressure the Trump administration to end the 2019 government shutdown. But under the second Trump term, the administration plans to gut many government agencies and has canceled one million contracts for federal workers so far. “We have to understand that if one group is under attack, we're next,” she tells Laura Flanders in this exclusive interview. “So we have to rush to each other's sides.” In this episode, Nelson and Flanders explore labor movement tactics and strategies, wins and losses, and why general strikes and cross-industry worker solidarity are critical in this moment. What is her message and her mission for 2025? All that, plus a commentary from Laura on floods and profits.“We have to understand that if one group is under attack, we're next. So we have to rush to each other's sides. But we can also turn this around and not just be on defense. . . We are in a crisis. Yeah. Our world is burning. We can actually set the agenda and make things better.”Guest:  Sara Nelson: International President of the Association of Flight Attendants- (AFA-CWA) (representing 55,000 Flight Attendants at 20 airlines)  Watch the episode released on YouTube July 18th 5pm ET; PBS World Channel July 20th, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

After the usual BS of “Did anyone invite a guest?” and “Let's text random people while we're recording,” the boys get down to business: a whole lot of safety plans are the same recycled Word doc with a new company logo slapped on. Sounds almost the same as every ska song does. Turns out, not a lot of people spend time creating real, specific plans, so they just do a “File, Save As” on their way to compliance.By the way, it's still a NOFX song for the episode title. Just saying.Contractor management? Copy-paste, MFers. Workers think half these plans are useless, and even the managers know they're just hoops to jump through. But don't worry, checklists and forms will sort it out, because nothing says safety like paperwork!Leadership? Yeah, leaders are supposed to show up and make all this “personal,” except half the time it's just performative nonsense. They debate whether “best practices” exist, eventually agreeing that the best practice is probably making sure people know what the hell a safety plan is even for.The reason every unique, special snowflake job site's plans look exactly like the next is because, deep down, they're lazy (says Dave), too overwhelmed, or just too unbothered to actually change anything about work.  Brian Hughes from Sologic was cool enough to answer a last-minute call and hop onto the pod, and because he's a bassist, he's nicer than most people. He takes a better view of how something like a template can actually help, not hurt, especially when people are overwhelmed by other stuff. Like meat at the Brazilian steakhouse where Brian is housing steaks off a meat sword. He looks at a template or copy-paste as a life preserver, but he draws the line at stopping there.And then Brian has to go get dessert.So, maybe it's okay to have a little bit of help, but a wash, rinse, repeat of stuff that sounds the same but doesn't work isn't good. Cool. Now what? Questions, not "insert company name." As a starter kit, you can still get a jump start without just putting 27 people on stage with horns and calling it good. Check it out for all the answers. DISCLAIMER: You probably shouldn't take anything in this podcast too seriously. Punk Rock Safety is for entertainment only.

Robots have come a long way in the last ten years. They can move parts around a warehouse, clean hotel floors, and deliver food. But they're still rare in everyday life. This could change as businesses look to cut rising costs by hiring fewer people.

Workers have been pummeled by an overload of customers on Black Friday, so there's a lot to catch up on as we enter the final month of 2025. We start with headlines covering Amazon, Highlander Charter School, Brown University, the University of Maryland, Columbia University, the UFW, National Park Workers, Campbell's, Uber and Lyft, and Leonardo S.p.A. Our main stories start by checking in on the nationwide Starbucks strike, that has now grown to 85 cities across the US. Workers have taken serious fire for standing up for truth and justice in many fields, we take a round up to see how workers are facing attacks on anti-genocide speech and for standing up to ICE. Finally, as neo-liberalism turns life for workers in the West into a waking nightmare, more and more are standing up, so we take a tour around major strikes launched or announced this week in Belgium, Portugal, India, Australia, and of course, Italy.

In this live conversation, recorded on the podcast stage at SXSW Sydney, two futurists explore the unforeseen future emerging in the workplace. Author and ex-journalist Andrea Clarke, joins host Jo Lepore on stage to discuss the human and talent transformation taking place at work. Our resistance to this kind of change is normal, Andrea says, as our human inclination is to see it as a loss and not a gain. Workers must reframe how they take in and take charge of what's asked of them - becoming discerning of mainstream narratives told to them, building ‘unignorable' human skills, and strengthening the mindset of adaptability to constant change. As change is, after all, the only constant - especially at in how we work and how we lead.Recorded live at SXSW Sydney October 2025. Edited for length and clarity.

Grocery workers at Santa Cruz Markets in Goleta and Santa Barbara have unanimously voted to authorize an Unfair Labor Practice strike, setting the stage for a possible walkout just days before the busy Thanksgiving holiday. Union leaders say the vote is a response to what they describe as ongoing labor violations by the company, and workers are now prepared to strike if negotiations don't resume in good faith. KCSB's Emerson Good spoke with Erik Mendez, a grocery worker and member of the UFCW union about his experiences. NOTE: Since the original interview aired on November 20th, 2025, the Santa Cruz Markets reached a tentative agreement on a contract just before the Thanksgiving holiday, avoiding the strike altogether.

In a landmark agreement hailed as world-leading, the Transport Workers Union, Uber, and DoorDash have put forward a minimum standards deal for Australian gig workers to the Fair Work Commission on Tuesday, 25 November. This major reform guarantees food delivery riders a 25% wage increase, injury insurance, and protection from unfair algorithmic dismissal, fundamentally changing a commission-based system that workers say left them making virtually no money. - अस्ट्रेलियामा सञ्चालनमा रहेका दुई ठुला अन डिमान्ड डेलिभरी सेवा उबर इट्स र डोरड्यासले आफ्ना चालकहरूलाई न्यूनतम पारिश्रमिक दर र विस्तृत सुरक्षा व्यवस्था लागू गर्न सहमति जनाएका छन्। दुई कम्पनी र ट्रान्सपोर्ट वर्कर्स युनियन बिच गत मङ्गलवार, नोभेम्बर २५ मा भएको सम्झौता लागू हुन भने फेयर वर्क कमिसनको स्वीकृति आवश्यक हुन्छ। यही सन्दर्भमा फुड डेलिभरीको काम गर्दै आएका र ट्रान्सपोर्ट वर्कर्स युनियनका प्रतिनिधि रहेका क्यानबराका उत्सव भट्टराई र नवीन अधिकारीसँग एसबीएस नेपालीले गरेको कुराकानी सहितको रिर्पोट सुन्नुहोस्।

Episode page: https://bit.ly/44hNGCc Episode description: In this episode of Insights Unlocked, Zoom CMO Kim Storin joins host Johann Wrede for a candid conversation about the realities of leading through transformation. Kim shares why change is harder than most leaders admit and how Zoom is evolving from a company known for meetings to a full multi-product collaboration platform. She also breaks down new Zoom + Deloitte research uncovering surprising gaps in how organizations measure collaboration ROI. From the power of curiosity and calculated risk-taking to the importance of authenticity and community in B2B marketing, Kim offers practical, human-centered guidance for anyone navigating rapid growth or organizational change. Key topics discussed: Why transformation is so challenging: “You can have the greatest strategy in the world, but the culture can make or break it.” Balancing optimism and pragmatism: Kim explains why optimism inspires progress—but only works when paired with realistic planning. Zoom's evolution beyond meetings: From events to customer support to sales enablement, Zoom is building a more-than-meetings collaboration ecosystem. The collaboration paradox: Workers now spend 25 hours/week on meeting-related tasks—yet companies still struggle to see true productivity and ROI. Community as a competitive edge: Why users proudly say “I'm a Zoom user,” and how brands can build authentic connection at scale. The 3 traits of modern marketing leaders: Curiosity, agility, and the confidence to take calculated risks.

From spiral staircases that defy physics to chapels carved straight into living rock, these are the places where architecture crosses into the paranormal—and where legends refuse to stay silent. The Loretto Chapel Staircase – A Carpenter From Heaven? We begin in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with one of the world's most iconic architectural mysteries: the Loretto Chapel's gravity-defying spiral staircase. The Sisters of Loretto prayed for help—and a mysterious carpenter arrived with nothing but a toolbox and a donkey. Working alone, he created a double-helix staircase with no central support, built from a type of wood not found anywhere in the region. He vanished without payment, without a name, and without any record of ever being there. Visitors still report: Apparitions of a carpenter Strange lights Feelings of presence or protection Sudden chills or tingling energy around the staircase Genius craftsmanship? A saint in disguise? Or something far beyond human skill?   Rosslyn Chapel – Codes, Secrets & Hidden Builders Next, we travel to Scotland's legendary Rosslyn Chapel, a structure overflowing with symbolism, whispers of the Knights Templar, and carvings that seem centuries ahead of their time. Inside its ornate stone walls are: Impossible geometric designs Carvings said to depict corn before the discovery of the New World Hidden chambers and blocked doorways Acoustical "hot spots" believed to amplify prayer or meditation Whether constructed by enlightened stonemasons, secret societies, or something more supernatural, Rosslyn remains one of Europe's most paranormally charged sites—where energy shifts, cold pockets, and spiritual encounters are frequently reported.    The Church That Appeared Overnight We explore one of Europe's strangest architectural legends: a remote chapel said to have been built in a single night. Villagers claimed they awoke to find a perfectly constructed, smooth-stone church where there had been nothing the day before. No workers were seen. No sounds of construction were heard. Some believe the builders were: Angels Protective spirits Shadowy stonecutters from folklore known to appear only at night The geometry is flawless, the stones are impossibly uniform, and no one—not even local elders—could recall a time it was "built." Miracle? Mass memory loss? Or the work of something otherworldly?   The Rock-Hewn Churches of Ethiopia – Architecture Beyond Human Hands? Finally, we journey to Lalibela, Ethiopia, home to eleven monolithic churches carved directly out of solid volcanic rock. Each one is a single piece—roof, pillars, walls, and windows all connected as part of the same giant stone. Local tradition says King Lalibela built them with: The guidance of angels Workers who labored by day And heavenly beings who continued the construction through the night   Modern archaeologists still struggle to explain how these immense structures—some descending 40 feet into the ground—were made with the tools of the 12th century. Visitors commonly report sensations of: Peaceful energy Vibrating stone Light phenomena Sacred presence around the churches   These sites remain living testaments to a blend of faith, engineering mystery, and possible supernatural intervention.

The dream of the modern worker's house emerged in early twentieth-century America as wage earners gained access to new, larger, and better-equipped dwellings. Building a Social Contract: Modern Workers' Houses in Early Twentieth-Century Detroit (Temple UP, 2023) is a cogent history of the houses those workers dreamed of and labored for. Dr. Michael McCulloch chronicles the efforts of employers, government agencies, and the building industry who, along with workers themselves, produced an unprecedented boom in housing construction that peaked in the mid-1920s. Through oral histories, letters, photographs, and period fiction, Dr. McCulloch traces wage earners' agency in negotiating a new implicit social contract, one that rewarded hard work with upward mobility in modern houses. This promise reflected workers' increased bargaining power but, at the same time, left them increasingly vulnerable to layoffs. Building a Social Contract focuses on Detroit, the quintessential city of the era, where migrant workers came and were Americanized, and real estate agents and the speculative housebuilding industry thrived. The Motor City epitomized the struggle of Black workers in this period, who sought better lives through industrial labor but struggled to translate their wages into housing security amid racist segregation and violence. When Depression-era unemployment created an eviction crisis, the social contract unraveled, and workers rose up—at the polls and in the streets—to create a labor movement that reshaped American capitalism for decades. Today, the lessons Dr. McCulloch provides from early twentieth-century Detroit are a necessary reminder that wages are not enough, and only working-class political power can secure affordable housing. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateFull Conversation Release: While our weekly shows are edited to time for broadcast on Public TV and community radio, we offer to our members and podcast subscribers the full uncut conversation. These audio exclusives are made possible thanks to our member supporters.Description [original release date July 2025]: Sara Nelson knows how to leverage worker power — and so do the 55,000 flight attendants she represents. A union member since 1996, she's been the International President of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO since 2014. You may remember her integral role in threatening a strike, which helped pressure the Trump administration to end the 2019 government shutdown. But under the second Trump term, the administration plans to gut many government agencies and has canceled one million contracts for federal workers so far. “We have to understand that if one group is under attack, we're next,” she tells Laura Flanders in this exclusive interview. “So we have to rush to each other's sides.” In this episode, Nelson and Flanders explore labor movement tactics and strategies, wins and losses, and why general strikes and cross-industry worker solidarity are critical in this moment. What is her message and her mission for 2025? All that, plus a commentary from Laura on floods and profits.“We have to understand that if one group is under attack, we're next. So we have to rush to each other's sides. But we can also turn this around and not just be on defense. . . We are in a crisis. Yeah. Our world is burning. We can actually set the agenda and make things better.”Guest:  Sara Nelson: International President of the Association of Flight Attendants- (AFA-CWA) (representing 55,000 Flight Attendants at 20 airlines)  Watch the episode released on YouTube July 18th 5pm ET; PBS World Channel July 20th, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).
