During Werk It 2019, we were joined by host Reema Khrais for a special live taping of Marketplace's This Is Uncomfortable, a show about life and how money messes with it. The live show tackled the topic of salary negotiation - how to ask your employer for more money and knowing your worth. Reema asked her very own boss, Sitara Nieves, about how to approach negotiations. And special guests TK Dutes and Julia Furlan dished out advice on your tricky money and work questions.

“Equal protection of the laws” was granted to all persons by the 14th Amendment in 1868. But for nearly a century after that, women had a hard time convincing the courts that they should be allowed to be jurors, lawyers, and bartenders, just the same as men. A then-lawyer at the ACLU named Ruth Bader Ginsburg set out to convince an all-male Supreme Court to take sex discrimination seriously with an unconventional strategy. She didn’t just bring cases where women were the victims of discrimination; she also brought cases where men were the victims. In this episode, we look at how a key battle for gender equality was won with frat boys and beer.
