In the darkest days of the Trump Whitehouse, the New York Times sold itself to the world as the last bastion of progressive ideals.

Within the pages of "The Old Grey Lady" , the NYT kept rigorous watch on the excesses and madness of the Trump administration and its impact on society, as well as opining about the importance of protecting workers, jobs and ending inequality.

So it might come as a shock to learn that The New York Times is running an aggressive anti-union campaign against its own workers.

Hamilton Nolan is a journalist who has ben writing about how The New York Times, like many so called progressive institutions talk a good game, but all too regularly act very differently.

Hamilton is our guest on this week's edition of "On the Job."

The way we work, how work is changing, how it used to be and what it might look like in the future.

It’s about who we work with, and who we work for.

It’s a discussion about the conditions in which we work and the demands of a job.

It’s talking about how it can be the best thing in our lives and also the worst.

Work can give us meaning and satisfaction, it can be the most challenging thing we’ve ever done and the most soul destroying days of our lives.

And that can all be in the same week!

Above all, we want to talk about work in a way that helps make work better for everyone
who listens.
