What if the challenges life throws at you aren't roadblocks but stepping stones to something greater? Born almost blind, Jennie Coleman never saw the world like others until a miraculous surgery at 13 changed everything. But that was just the beginning. She built a trailblazing career at Bombardier, specializing in corporate strategy and travelling between Montreal, Zurich, Berlin, and Beijing. Then, life threw her another challenge: her daughter Laura, born with an ultra-rare genetic mutation, forever needed care. Jennie could have retreated, but instead, she redefined success. Jennie left the corporate world, took a leap of faith, and bought a business she knew nothing about—Equifruit, a Fairtrade banana company. And with the same resilience that carried her through every chapter of her life, she turned it into a force for good, fighting for fair wages, sustainability, and ethical trade.  Jennie's journey—from corporate warrior to purpose-driven entrepreneur—earned her the title of RBC Momentum Award Winner. The Harvard Business School has published a case on her accomplishments, and Jennie has been named Canada's Most Admired CEO by Waterson Human Capital.  But her story isn't just about business. It's about family, and humanity, and someone who sees beyond profit to a higher purpose.   To learn more about Equifruit,  https://equifruit.com/en/

During those three days, Bella went from a happy, bubbly baby to alternately crying hysterically and becoming quiet and withdrawn. Then her parents noticed a distinctive pinching bruise on Bella's thigh. An investigation turned up hours of CCTV footage from inside the daycare, showing three workers abusing the baby, including pinching, shoving, crushing, slapping, shaking, and smothering her.Bella's parents, JD and Kaitlin Kuykendall, assumed their baby's abusers would immediately face consequences, but instead, officials seemed hell-bent on sweeping the incident under the rug. The daycare workers responsible remained working at the CDC for months. Only when Bella's parents went public with her story were any charges pressed, and those were woefully inadequate.In this episode, you'll hear my conversation with Kaitlin Kuykendall about what Bella endured, how it continues to affect her to this day, and why Kaitlin and her husband went public with her story.This is the inspiring story of Operation Mei Mei.Operation Mei Mei on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573058332219Photos related to today's episode can be viewed on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpod You can also follow the podcast on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@STLCpodMy Linktree is available here: https://linktr.ee/stlcpod Visit the podcast's web page at https://www.sufferthelittlechildrenpod.com. By supporting me on Patreon, you'll also access rewards, including a shout-out by name on the podcast and exclusive rewards.

Finding a place to live in the Tahoe Basin is a difficult task for many local workers. A recent partnership between Placemate and Washoe County aims to remedy this problem. Reporter: Kat Fulwider, KUNR Under California law, if a person makes a threat to a place - like a school or house of worship - but they don't threaten specific individuals, it can be really hard to prosecute them. A bill moving through the state legislature could close this loophole. Reporter: Sameea Kamal, CalMatters Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Google has officially confirmed its acquisition of cloud security firm Wiz for a staggering $32 billion, marking the largest deal in the company's history. This strategic move aims to bolster Google Cloud's security and multi-cloud capabilities, especially as the demand for cloud security intensifies. Wiz, founded in 2020, has quickly gained traction, serving nearly half of the Fortune 100 companies and projecting a significant increase in annual recurring revenue. However, the acquisition comes with risks, including potential regulatory scrutiny and a substantial reverse termination fee, reflecting the challenges Google may face in integrating Wiz into its existing cloud infrastructure.In a related development, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is working to contact over 130 former employees after a federal court ruled their layoffs were unlawful. This decision is part of a broader legal challenge against workforce cuts made during the Trump administration. The reinstated employees will receive full pay and benefits while on administrative leave, but the agency has already lost a significant portion of its workforce, raising concerns about its ability to combat cyber threats effectively. The situation highlights the ongoing challenges faced by CISA in maintaining a capable workforce amid increasing cyberattacks.Cloudflare has launched a new threat events platform called Cloudforce One, designed to enhance real-time intelligence on cyberattacks. This platform leverages Cloudflare's extensive global network, which has blocked billions of cyber threats daily. Additionally, Logic Monitor has partnered with Amazon Web Services to facilitate the migration of VMware workloads to AWS, aiming to optimize cloud performance for global enterprises. Meanwhile, RingCentral has introduced several AI features to improve business communications, including a virtual assistant for managing inbound calls and tools for real-time knowledge retrieval.Lastly, a London court held a secret hearing regarding Apple's appeal against a UK government order to create a backdoor in its encrypted cloud storage systems. This case raises significant concerns about government surveillance, encryption, and data privacy, with potential global implications for cloud security and regulatory compliance. Civil rights organizations have criticized the secrecy of the proceedings, emphasizing the importance of strong encryption in protecting individuals from harassment and oppression. The outcome of this case could have far-reaching effects on the balance between security and privacy in the digital age. Four things to know today 00:00 Google's Biggest Deal Ever: $32B on Wiz to Secure the Cloud.

Trump should appeal directly to workers, not just union bosses, if he wants to truly connect with the American electorate. The traditional political lines that divide conservatives and liberals have been upended by his approach, which challenges the status quo.

Matthew 20:1-16

Matt Galloway asks Minister of Jobs and Families Steven MacKinnon what his government is doing to support the Canadian workers threatened by U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs.

For years, a long-standing policy prevented federal immigration agents from making arrests at or near sensitive locations, including schools, places of worship, hospitals, and health centers. It was one of the first policies Trump rolled back in January, just hours after his inauguration.

Having previously served as a nurse and having grown up with neurodivergent family members, Libby Thomas believes there is much more that legal employers can do to better support lawyers with idiosyncratic needs – particularly those coming through the ranks. In this episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Travis Schultz & Partners associate Libby Thomas about her previous career in nursing, how and why she became a personal injury lawyer, her family's experiences with neurodivergence and how it has informed her views on workplaces' support or otherwise, and the stigma that still surrounds such conditions. Thomas also delves into the impact of stigma upon neurodivergent people, how her firm is supporting all staff, what other law firm owners need to be asking of themselves and their businesses, practical steps to be taken, the business case for support neurodivergent workers, and why she thinks the legal profession still has a long way to go.

As we reckon with an administration hostile to equal rights, feminists will continue to fight. To help keep hope, we must remember and celebrate recent wins. One of those wins is the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, which took effect on June 27, 2023. This is a landmark piece of legislation that prohibits discrimination and ensures workplace accommodations related to pregnancy for workers. But is the PWFA safe, or will it be threatened by the Trump Administration's crusade against reproductive rights and justice?Joining us to discuss the history and significance of the PWFA is our very special guest, Dina Bakst: Dina Bakst is the co-founder and former co-president of A Better Balance, a national nonprofit legal advocacy organization that uses the power of the law to advance justice for workers. Bakst was awarded the prestigious Heinz Award for the Economy for A Better Balance's successful work advancing work-family justice in 2021, and the first-ever Visionary Women Award for Women's Economic Empowerment in 2022.  In 2020, she was named one of “16 People and Groups Fighting For a More Equal America” by Time Magazine. Prior to co-founding A Better Balance, Dina was an attorney with the NOW Legal Defense & Education Fund (now Legal Momentum) where she pursued litigation and policy advocacy on a wide range of women's rights issues.Check out this episode's landing page at MsMagazine.com for a full transcript, links to articles referenced in this episode, further reading and ways to take action.Support the show

Beginning with the so-called Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006, which required the postal service to hold billions of dollars in reserve to fund retirement benefits for workers who have not yet been born, and then the sell-off of post offices, cuts to the workforce and price hikes, the ground for privatization of the US Postal Service, as was done in Canada and the United Kingdom, has been laid. Clearing the FOG speaks with Annie Norman, a leader of the Save the Post Office Coalition, about the current effort to begin privatizing the postal service in incremental steps. Norman also discusses the upcoming national days of action to protect our post offices and the People's Postal Agenda, a program to strengthen the postal service and add more services for people.

With tariffs back in the spotlight, what's their real impact on trade, business, and jobs? Are they a necessary tool for protecting American industry, or do they do more harm than good?This week, host Matt Kirchner sits down with John Murphy, Senior Vice President, Head of International for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, to break down the complex world of tariffs and trade policy. With decades of experience in global trade, John sheds light on the history, purpose, and unintended consequences of tariffs.From manufacturing to agriculture, tariffs have ripple effects across industries, supply chains, and even the workforce. Who really pays the price when tariffs are imposed? How do they shape innovation and investment in the U.S.? And with shifting political winds in early 2025, is the U.S. moving toward a more protectionist future?This conversation tackles these pressing questions while exploring what business leaders, policymakers, and even students should consider as they navigate the evolving trade landscape.Listen to learn:How tariffs impact American manufacturing and the six million jobs tied to exportsThe surprising truth about who actually pays tariffs—and how they drive up costsWhen tariffs become a tool for political leverage rather than economic policyWhy protectionism can stifle innovation instead of promoting domestic industriesWhat today's trade policies mean for the next generation of skilled workersResources in this Episode:Learn more about the U.S. Chamber of Commerce: www.uschamber.comOther resources mentioned in this episode:From The Wall Street Journal: "The New Plan for Western Companies Is ABC: ‘Anything But China'"Learn more about the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM)U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA)University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment IndexWe want to hear from you!

As his popularity continues to wane, President Lula appears as if disconnected to the new realities in Brazil as he faces the most testing time in his political career. The weakness of Brazil's currency, the rising cost of living, the disastrous municipal elections in October 2024, the fiscal deficit and investor concerns are all issues which Lula needs to face up to but, as yet, has been unable to address. This week on The LatinNews Podcast, we speak to Richard Lapper, author and journalist and expert on Latin America. Lapper speaks about the potential consequences of Lula's failure to encourage his Partido dos Trabalhadores, Workers' Party in moving beyond its core politics, which were developed in 1970s and 1980s, to the new national reality in which poorer Brazilians are increasingly individualistic in their economic opportunities and therefore more detached from decisions in Brasilia. We also look ahead at the presidential elections tabled for October 2026 and ask: is there an anointed successor to Lula or opposition figure and former president Jair Bolsonaro and how Brazil's judiciary and congress are gaining more power at the expense of the executive.Follow LatinNews for analysis on economic, political, and security developments in Latin America & the Caribbean.

Mick and Hanna are ready to back a much-needed workforce revolution after reading the results of a recent Gallup poll.

The Trump administration is doing a good job of uprooting many of the DEI hirers of the last administration. But there are some hurtles to get over before the job is done. Lets looks at what is being done, what could happen because of it, and what the strategy is for those that want to defend them.

This week, we're staying in Southern California, where the workers of Touchstone Climbing Gym in Los Angeles have been negotiating their first contract with their employer. Touchstone Climbing, a regional climbing gym with over a dozen locations in California, experienced a wave of unionization in its Los Angeles locations early last year. The successful campaign with Workers United created a wall-to-wall union at each of the company's five locations in the Los Angeles area. Members of the LA-based gym are often themselves union members, and the response from the climbing community has been overwhelmingly positive.   However, workers have been navigating a frustrating negotiation in order to reach an agreement on a first contract. Chief among workers' demands is better communications, higher safety standards, and better pay.    With me today to discuss their unionization, and their negotiations are Ryan Barkauskas, PT desk staff at The Post in Pasadena and Jess Kim, Former Desk Staff at the Post in Pasadena, now FT Workers United organizer.    Additional links/info:  Touchstone Workers United Instagram Climbing Business Journal - “Touchstone Workers United Win Union Election - First Southern California Climbing Gyms to Unionize” Eaton Fire Gofundme for Sam, 10+ year Yoga Instructor Eaton Fire Gofundme for Martell, Front Desk Worker at The Post in Pasadena   Permanent links below… Leave us a voicemail and we might play it on the show!
