April 15, 2025
If you think you know everything about workplace rights, think again!
Today we're joined by trailblazing employment rights attorney Jack Tuckner.
Join us as we unravel the complex web of menopause, workplace rights, and legal protections.
With decades of experience fighting for women's rights, Jack's experience is truly fascinating.
From the history of sex discrimination laws in the US to the current legislative landscape, this conversation challenges the status quo and highlights the urgent need for more inclusive workplace policies.
Whether you're a woman navigating menopause, a manager aiming for equity, this episode will help you on your journey to creating a fairer workplace for all.
Join Jack and Deborah and NYC-based civil rights attorney Phil Hines, Esq., a partner in the firm Held & Hines, LLP, where Phil concentrates his practice on civil police misconduct, correctional officer misconduct, false arrest, excessive force and malicious prosecution cases. In short, Phil represents the most vulnerable folks among us, such as his diabetic client who was incarcerated at Rikers Island for failing to make a child support payment, then denied essential medical care and his insulin pump, and ultimately hospitalized with permanent injuries.
Phil also represents transgender inmates who are sexually assaulted by correction officers or other inmates, in difficult lawsuits against the city or state. Learn the important filing deadlines and what to do if it happens to you.
Join Jack Tuckner and Deborah O’Rell as they discuss New York’s brand new Women’s Equality Agenda, which will soon provide many powerful and enhanced legal protections for working women facing sexual harassment, pregnancy discrimination and unequal pay.
On the eve of the historic marriage equality arguments before the Supreme Court, Jack Tuckner and Deborah O’Rell lead a discussion on the significance of the case, and what it means for the LGBT movement. Against this backdrop, Jack and Deborah are joined by Stefan Oxley and Karel Jaros to discuss the wider implications of any marriage equality decision by the Court, and a closer examination of LGBT anti-discrimination laws throughout the country, including in employment, public accommodations, and housing.
