Airing on Friday, July 15, 2015: The International Monetary Fund says it won't support a Greek deal that doesn't include debt relief. We explain how debt relief works, and why it is a) so central to this issue, and b) so contentious, both economically and politically. Next: the Department of Labor has waded into the ongoing fight over what types of workers should be considered employees in the sharing economy. Though the guidance is not a formal change in policy, a 15-page memo says the definition of employee isn’t quite as narrow as some firms might prefer.
