Episode 199: Animal Welfare Groups Escalate Attacks On Major Brands

We’ll bring you up to speed on the latest and greatest regarding the federal minimum wage conversation including the release of the anticipated CBO report outlining potential impacts of raising the wage to $15/hr as well as the President meeting with the CEOs of major employers to try and sell his relief package and the wage hike. We discuss all of that. And despite the ramifications of the pandemic and the subsequent economic distress, more and more major brands are finding themselves once again in the crosshairs of the animal rights community, most notably on the issues of chicken harvesting and cage-free eggs. We are joined by Will Coggin from Berman and Company, who will share his extensive experience and expertise in this space and provide some solid insight and counsel for corporate brands being faced with these challenges. We’ll discuss those issues and wrap it up with the legislative scorecard.
