Episode 353: Labor Secretary Nominee Well-Known By Oregon Restaurant & Lodging Association

We have a conversation with Greg Astley, Director of Government Affairs for the Oregon Restaurant Association, about Oregan Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer and his team’s working relationship with the new Cabinet member. What has been her record in Congress? What are her priorities? And what’s her relationship with the Teamsters? We’ll get the view from back home in Oregon. And then we’ll talk about another major employer, Walmart, joining the growing group of companies pivoting on their DEI policies. We’ll talk about those issues and wrap it up with the legislative scorecard.
