Nation Magazine contributor Bryce Covert joined the America’s Work Force Union Podcast and discussed two articles she recently published in the magazine.

Covert talked about her article, “Nurses Are Fighting Back—but the Nightmare Continues,” which explores how nurses work in unsustainable conditions in understaffed hospitals. 

She also discussed another article, “It’s Time to End Forced Arbitration Completely,” where Covert argues forced arbitration unfairly discriminates against plaintiffs by shielding corporations from facing their day in court. 

Listen to the entire episode to learn more about these topics.
