Summary

The war on packaging is heating up and California is poised to set a new marker that may chance the entire lifecycle of the issue. In an age of increasing delivery demands by consumers, operators are finding themselves in a very difficult position. We discuss that with Shannon Crawford, the Director of State Government Affairs for the Plastics Industry Association. And the online retailer Wayfair had a tough week with many of their employees protesting some of the company’s potentially politically-sensitive business engagements. Their response did themselves no favor but may have done a big one for other companies unfortunately demonstrating what not to do in a crisis. We’ll take a deep dive into that. We’ll talk about those stories and wrap it up with the legislative scorecard.

New shows come out every other Wednesday Level the Paying Field Pay Equity Office of Ontario Welcome to Level the Paying Field where we explore issues related to economics, equity, women, work and money. This series of conversations explores topics impacting women working in Ontario and is published by Ontario’s Pay Equity Office. Part of our inspiration for launching this series was how, in the midst of a global pandemic which disproportionally impacted women around the world, global multilateral organizations came together to inaugurate the first ever International Equal Pay Day on September 18th 2020. This was an initiative led by United Nations members including Australia, Canada, Germany, Iceland, New Zealand, Panama, South Africa and Switzerland with a total of 105 UN member states co-sponsoring the resolution to establish September 18th as “International Equal Pay Day”.Through this series, we hope to elevate the equity conversation to make the world a more equitable place for women to work, live, and thrive, and support closing the gender wage gap.Podcast in Engli Bound for Bestseller: Book Marketing & Book Launch Strategy for Authors Valerie Morris Valerie Morris shares tried-and-true methods for launching and marketing a successful book.
