Demanding Change: When Workers Speak Up and Companies Listen
About this episode
What does it mean to stand up to your employer and demand change? Recently, workers at Disney successfully pushed their CEO to speak out against Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill. And they are not the only ones to become activists on the job. Google employee Tanuja Gupta helped organize a walkout that led to a change in company policy, and influenced a federal law banning forced arbitration in sexual misconduct cases at work. She details why she stayed at a company she calls a microcosm of the debates taking place across America. Plus, Noa Gafni explains how the pandemic is helping drive this new wave of social activism in the workplace.
