    Are ALL power tool batteries about to change? Plus new laws that will change how we work

    Are ALL power tool batteries about to change? Plus new laws that will change how we work

    It seems the last few years when products are forced to change with new laws it starts in the European Union. We saw that this last few years with the new Apple Iphone with the change to USB-C. Now it looks like they are at it again with our power tools and this might not be for the better if you have a higher end tool. Lets explore how that could turn out and then there are some new labor laws in the US that will change some employee relationships in design construction and even media. We talk about that and MORE in our Weekday Special.
