-
- Business
The big announcement this week is that Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz will voluntarily testify in front of Sen. Sander’s committee to answer some presumably tough questions about the unionization campaign at his company. We’ll discuss what that hearing may look like and how it may bleed into an overall assault on the restaurant industry.
And we visit with Chicago political veteran Ryan McLaughlin to discuss the mayor’s race in Chicago - most notably what happened to Lori Lightfoot but more importantly, what the two remaining candidates mean for restaurant owners.
And the industry found itself prominently in the national news cycle this week with numerous articles outlining the industry’s role in the economic recovery and the importance of women returning to the job market but conversely, the nagging problems of pay equity and pay transparency. We’ll unpack all of that.
We’ll discuss those issues and wrap it up with the legislative scorecard.
