A federal judge recently blocked an Obama administration policy that was going to give more workers overtime. We discuss this ruling, and we discuss issues facing the American worker more broadly. President-elect Trump has promised to protect American workers, but Harold Meyerson, executive editor of The American Prospect, says Trump's election is "an extinction-level event for American labor." Our guests:
- Beth Cordello, chair of the Labor & Employment Practice Group at Pullano & Farrow
- Jesse Lenney, upstate political director of the Working Families Party
- Carly Fox, Worker Justice Center
- Paul Hypolite, New York State United Teachers
