One worker and student shares their recent work experience, and Tess Fraad-Wolff joins the show to speak about the impacts of experiences like this workers' on people's well-being, all around the United States. "We make such a thing in this culture of being treated appropriately, of having power, of being a free people. But to hear Leila and you talk, right away, the first thought in my mind is "What kind of freedom do you have if you're worried every minute that you're going to lose this job?"...
