Episode 34: The Workplace and the Pandemic
The coronavirus pandemic has arguably been the most altering event for the workplace
in decades. While much of the workforce remains remote, zooming into meetings, many
others, either by choice or necessity, work in person. The pandemic has also shown
a spotlight on the unsafe workplaces that thousands of Americans work in on a daily
basis. As the vaccine shows us a light at the end of the tunnel, what can we expect
when we return to work? In this episode we are joined by Professor Matt Bodie, co-director
of the William C. Wefel Center for Employment Law. Professor Bodie is an expert in
employment and labor law.
