There Will Be Blood (And PFAS)

Thinx, one of the most recognizable brands for period underwear, agreed to pay out $5 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging that its signature product contains PFAS — despite having advertised the underwear as safe.

A recent New York Times investigation revealed that the National Restaurant Association coerced millions of restaurant workers nationwide into unknowingly funding the lobbying efforts that keep their wages low. Saru Jayaraman, the President of One Fair Wage, joins us to discuss the effort to end the sub-minimum wage and improve working conditions in the service sector.

And in headlines: Ukraine's interior minister was among at least 14 people killed in a helicopter crash outside Kyiv, Microsoft announced that it will lay off 10,000 employees, and former President Donald Trump’s campaign asked Meta to reinstate his Facebook account.
