Blue laws. They are quirky and annoying outdated restrictions on activities to ensure Sunday is a day of rest and worship. Some go beyond dictating when you can or cannot get a drink, and sometimes they leave you scratching your head wondering, why in the world are they still on the books?
In this season's fourth episode, we dive into the history and impact of the laws. We explore the story of a Brooklyn nightclub suing New York for refusing to issue a special event permit for extended hours on New Year's Eve and the ongoing debate surrounding blue laws and their place in modern society. And we also look at the upside: how these laws give some workers the reprieve they need from a long work week.
Prepare for a joyride through a legal antique shop, just hope the lawman doesn't catch us!
Special guests:
- Polina Buckley, owner of nightclub Eris Evolution
- Jonathan Corbett, a civil rights attorney
- Patricia Campos-Medina, executive director of the Worker Institute at the School of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell University
