SCOTUS sidelines the Biden Administration’s vaccine mandate

Working Lunch: RB Editor-at-Large Peter Romeo joins Align Public Strategies to talk about the Supreme Court decision killing the vaccine mandate and growing unionization efforts

It was a big week for two reasons. The list of Starbucks locations seeking union representation nearly doubled and the U.S. Supreme Court essentially killed President Biden’s vaccine mandate for large employers.

This week’s episode of the Working Lunch podcast features a discussion of those issues and how employers are reacting to them.

Peter Romeo, editor-at-large for Restaurant Business, joins the podcast to give his unique insights on the week.

The podcast is hosted by Joe Kefauver, managing partner of the public affairs firm Align Public Strategies, and Franklin Coley, a partner with the firm.
