In this podcast, we dive into the fascinating connections between sports, labor economics, and labor law. Why do labor economists study sports? Because professional sports provide a unique, measurable environment to test core economic principles.

Through the lens of sports, we also look at race and gender biases in areas like the NBA MVP vote and even NCAA tournament selections. With the help of statistical models, we uncover surprising biases and show how these models can be applied to real-world employment discrimination cases.

In this episode, Francine Esposito of Day Pitney explored the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) General Counsel's recent recommendations that stay-or-pay, moonlighting and non-competition agreements be deemed unlawful under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), a pivotal federal labor law that applies to unionized and non-unionized workplaces alike. Esposito explained the General Counsel advocates for broad "make-whole" relief, which would require employers to compensate employees for speculative lost wages and benefits resulting from these provisions. Esposito also addressed recent NLRB cases banning employers’ use of “captive audience meetings” and limiting what employers can tell employees about the impact of choosing to unionize, as well as additional changes likely resulting from President Trump’s reelection.

In 2019, the EU issued the European Parliament and Council Directive (EU) 2019/1937 on the protection of persons who report breaches of EU law. This directive has obliged all member states to implement comprehensive whistleblower protection regulation by December 2021, aiming to ensure that individuals who report misconduct or illegal activities within organizations are safeguarded from retaliation.

While all other EU member states have successfully introduced their respective regulations, Poland has been notably delayed in this process. The delay has not gone unnoticed, as Poland has already faced sanctions from the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) for failing to meet the directive's deadline.

However, there is significant progress to report. On June 14, 2024, Poland has adopted its Whistleblower Protection Act. Most of the new legislation came into force on September 25th, 2024. This new legislation marks a pivotal step towards aligning with EU standards and providing essential protections for whistleblowers within the country.

Today, we will be discussing the European Directive on whistleblower protection and the new Polish Whistleblower Protection Act, especially from the viewpoint of Polish employers.

Many countries have recently enacted laws related to the right of employees to disconnect from work for guaranteeing a work-life balance. Colombia is one of those countries where recently the Congress approved a new bill that introduced a legal definition of the right to disconnect for limiting the faculty of employers to contact and reach employees after work hours or during rest periods. In any case, the new law will bring some exceptions considering the level of the employee, the job responsibilities and the context in which the employer make contact, and also will introduce a new obligation with respect to the need to implement an internal policy around that topic for generating limits and a process for solving claims related to violations to right to disconnect.

Amazon, Google and Medium are the most recent examples of tech companies faced with unionization efforts. While each situation is different, there is a common denominator: many of these employees don’t feel their voices are heard or taken seriously.

In this webinar to podcast, we provide a national perspective on the following key issues:

  • The workplace issues driving union organizing
  • How the pandemic and remote work is exacerbating this trend
  • The advent of “non-traditional” unions and employee associations
  • The impact of the Biden administration, social media and investors on these efforts

Transformational leaders challenge the status quo, provide a vision of a promising future, and inspire their followers to join in the pursuit of a better world. But many of these leaders also fit the American Psychiatric Association classification for Narcissistic Personality Disorder. They are grandiose, entitled, self-confident, risk seeking, manipulative, and hostile. In this webinar to podcast, Professor Chatman reviews what we know about why we are often susceptible to (mis)perceiving narcissists as transformational leaders and how we can avoid this bias. She will also discuss what we know about how narcissistic leaders affect organizations, including creating unreasonable risk, and cultures that are lower in integrity and collaboration, and how these negative consequences can be mitigated.
