Episode 162: SBA Moves the Goalposts on Ruth’s Chris and Others

The Small Business Administration and other agencies are quickly releasing new rules, regulations and other guidance around the Paycheck Protection Program following public backlash over the perception that large companies were receiving more than their fair share. We’ll discuss the political situation and what we think is potentially unfair vilification of some employers who thought they were playing by the rules. And “re-opening the economy” - whatever that means - is at the top of the priority list. We’ll discuss what guidance the White House is giving as well as the direction some governors are taking. And the crisis has given new momentum to employee activism and business leaders are listening. Could this be the opportunity that the labor community has been waiting for? We’ll have those stories and wrap it up with the legislative scorecard.
