Truthout TV Interviews Ellen Dannin and Ann Hodges About the Attack Against the National Labor Relations Act

Workers’ rights have eroded over the past 30 years, while the rights of corporations have increased.

Independent journalism at Truthout faces unprecedented authoritarian censorship. If you value progressive media, please make a year-end donation today.

Your rights as workers have eroded over the past 30 years, while the rights of corporations have increased. How did this happen? Ted Asregadoo, host of Truthout Interviews, talks to Ellen Dannin and Ann Hodges – both of whom are law professors specializing in employment law and labor rights – about a series of op-ed pieces they’ve written for Truthout that chronicle the way in which judicial rulings have chipped away at the National Labor Relations Act of 1935.

Our most important fundraising appeal of the year

December is the most critical time of year for Truthout, because our nonprofit news is funded almost entirely by individual donations from readers like you. So before you navigate away, we ask that you take just a second to support Truthout with a tax-deductible donation.

This year is a little different. We are up against a far-reaching, wide-scale attack on press freedom coming from the Trump administration. 2025 was a year of frightening censorship, news industry corporate consolidation, and worsening financial conditions for progressive nonprofits across the board.

We can only resist Trump’s agenda by cultivating a strong base of support. The right-wing mediasphere is funded comfortably by billionaire owners and venture capitalist philanthropists. At Truthout, we have you.

We’ve set an ambitious target for our year-end campaign — a goal of $250,000 to keep up our fight against authoritarianism in 2026. Please take a meaningful action in this fight: make a one-time or monthly donation to Truthout before December 31. If you have the means, please dig deep.
