Paseo Podcast: Sharing Puerto Rican Stories
Society & Culture
For this week’s episode, we welcome César Rosado Marzán. He’s a labor and employment law scholar and professor in the University of Iowa’s College of Law. We invited him on the show today because there’s been some big unionization news in the media recently. In case you haven’t seen it, there is a vital election going on to unionize an Amazon Warehouse in Alabama and a lot of eyes are paying attention to what will happen at this warehouse, including 1,000s of Amazon workers nationwide.
This story got us thinking about labor and employment law, but in addition to talking about the Amazon Warehouse story, we’ll also discuss the Jones Act and its impact on Puerto Rico, workers’ rights, and Joe Biden’s statement showing support for unionization efforts, which - btw - is not something you see often from a sitting president.
