Oakland University Professor of Political Science David Dulio, University of Michigan Law School’s Rachael Kohl and other news-makers discuss the latest COVID-19 news and information on this full edition of the Oakland County Megacast!

David Dulio, Professor of Political Science and Director of Oakland University’s Center for Civic Engagement, discusses State issues such as unemployment, as well as details the political ramifications of leaders working through disasters, as well as who the “winners” of these crises that we face are in the context of the current political landscape.

Rachael Kohl, Director of the University of Michigan Law School’s Workers’ Rights Clinic, talks about the issues surrounding the Michigan Unemployment Insurance Agency (UIA), as well as how the recent fraud cases are further affecting those who have been waiting months for any of their unemployment checks, detailing the issues with the UIA’s systems, as well as some ways she has helped people begin to navigate those issues.

Additionally, Attorney Eric Glick of the Glick Law Firm talks about what rights workers have in terms of getting answers from the State government regarding their unemployment issues, as well as unfortunate circumstances that have some victims of uncollected checks at a standstill.

Plus, Michigan Long-Term Care Ombudsman Salli Pung discusses the issues that Nursing Home workers, families, and patients have faced during the pandemic, as well as her role in providing for the rights and needs of the patients and their families, and West Bloomfield Township Public Information Officer and Deputy Police Chief Curt Lawson discusses last week’s peaceful Black Lives Matter protest in the Township, where leaders need to go with the conversation from here, and he addresses the issues of fraud that have affected unemployed residents and others in the local area.
