In this week’s Working Lunch, Joe Kefauver and Franklin Coley of Align Public Strategies speak with Brennan Duckett, director of technology and innovation policy at the National Restaurant Association. Duckett is leading a cross-industry effort to push for legislation seeking relief for business owners across the retail space who are struggling with the high fees charged by Visa, MasterCard and others. Are lawmakers listening?
Also in the podcast, Kefauver and Coley talk about a case before the U.S. Supreme Court that could have implications for DEI in the corporate world. The two also look at the court of public opinion, and how Target, Walmart and Amazon handled a recent economic boycott over the DEI issue.
And they discuss how new Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has impacted Steak n Shake.
