Episode 345: Industry Goes Toe To Toe With One Fair Wage In House Hearing

The Working Lunch

This week, NRA Board member Tom Boucher, along with other panelists, testified before a Congressional Subcomittee egarding the labor community’s efforts to eliminate the tip credit as well as the onerous complications from the Administration’s 80/20/30 rule. Also on the panel was One Fair Wage head Saru Jayaraman. Let’s just say Tom had a better day. We’ll dive into that. And former President Trump upped the populist ante this week calling for both the elimination of taxes on overtime wages as well as a 10% cap on credit card interest rates. Both are likely impossible to achieve but it sure makes his audiences respond. We’ll take a look. We’ll talk about those issues and wrap it up with the legislative scorecard.
