Episode 128: Media Executive Threatens to Fire Workers Considering a Union

from The Working Lunch · host Align Public Strategies

More corporate leaders are dragging their companies into the political and culture wars - and this week was no different. A media founder even went to a new level, potentially violating federal labor law by threatening to fire workers who even consider unionization. We’ll take a look at that. And San Francisco is at it again, this time considering a recycling ordinance that would make most current restaurant packaging obsolete. We’ll kick that around and see what restaurants need to be prepared for. And privacy legislation on Capitol Hill is likely stalled again, despite all sides seeming to want it. Only in DC! We’ll talk about those stories and wrap it up with the legislative scorecard.
