Episode 190: Industry Pushes Back On Shutdowns

We’re going to do a deep dive into the labor community and discuss their agenda and how they are approaching 2021. Mike Saltsman from the Employment Policies Institute joins us to discuss what’s ahead for organized labor and how the pandemic is helping them achieve their political, policy and organizing goals. And in response to alarming increases in COVID-19 infections, governors across the country are reluctantly closing down parts of the economy in their states and many are starting with restaurants. We’ll discuss the dilemma facing governors and mayors with Susan Connelly, the Chief Communications and Public Affairs Officer for Darden Restaurants and get her insight on how best to work with those chief executives and help them better navigate these difficult waters. We’ll discuss all of this and wrap it up with the legislative scorecard.
