Working Lunch: Restaurant operators in limbo as coronavirus relief legislation stalls in Congress

The next coronavirus relief package seems to have stalled in Congress, leaving displaced workers and business owners in a precarious position. Matt Walker, vice president of government affairs for the National Restaurant Association, joins the team from Align Public Strategies on this week’s episode of Working Lunch to help listeners understand what’s ahead.

As a result of the uncertainty workers are facing right now, restaurant operators need to be extremely cognizant of the labor relations environment and the pressure that many of their workers – and customers – are currently feeling. Working Lunch takes a look at how operators should navigate that space.

The podcast wraps up with the weekly legislative scorecard.
