Episode 213: New NRA Executive To Streamline State & Federal Coordination

One Fair Wage Hits the streets for another round of worker protests, strikes and walkouts targeting high end restaurants in major metros. Their new message - “it’s not a labor shortage, it's a pay shortage” seems to be taking hold in some quarters and the press this week seems to be gobbling it up. We’ll take a look at this new dynamic in the wage conversation. And Emily Williams Knight joins us to talk about her new role at the National Restaurant Association as Chief Collaboration Officer and Executive Vice President of Industry Relations. We’ll discuss the challenges that lay ahead as she tries to streamline advocacy and other efforts between the state restaurant associations and the NRA as well as a host of other topics. We’ll discuss those issues and wrap it up with the legislative scorecard.
