The push to raise the minimum wage has gotten attention in Ohio and nationwide. But perhaps a lesser-known issue is the number of hours workers get.

Are you struggling to get enough hours? Many people are underemployed, working part-time and on “just-in-time scheduling.”

On Cincinnati Edition, we discuss the hardship of part-time employment and the push for a federal right to full-time work.

Guests:

  • Adelle Waldman, author, Help Wanted
  • Matt Bruenig, labor lawyer and founder, People’s Policy Project
  • Audrey Treasure, VP and executive director, Greater Cincinnati Regional Chamber Workforce Innovation Center

Beginning at noon, call 513-419-7100 or email talk@wvxu.org to have your voice heard on this topic. You can catch a recorded replay at 8 p.m.
