| 0:07.0 | I welcome my colleague Chris Regal of scholar.com. |
| 0:10.0 | This is the scholar report about a subject that Chris has watched for years, since the pandemic especially. |
| 0:17.0 | That is, the relationship, the conversation between employer and employee. Now we have an item out of London suggesting |
