Welcome to our HGEA podcast, The Negotiation Table. Here, we aim to bring you the most recent updates on pressing labor related issues on a monthly basis.
The 2026 legislative session is underway, with lawmakers grappling with the impact of the so-called Big Beautiful Bill passed by extremists in Congress and the White House. The bill slashed billions from the states for supplemental food benefits and healthcare for the most vulnerable, all to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. Lawmakers are in the uncomfortable position of figuring out how to balance the state’s budget while preserving vital services to the public. And that’s just one issue among many directly related to labor.
With us today we have a familiar face, friend of the podcast Randy Perreira, our very own executive director.
