Working Lunch Podcast: Trump’s Chaos Topples Business Priorities

ORLANDO, Fla. — Align Public Strategies is a full-service public affairs and creative firm that helps corporate brands, governments and nonprofits navigate the outside world and inform their internal decision-making. Each week, the Align team discusses the top items impacting business models on its "Working Lunch" podcast.

On this week's Working Lunch podcast, the Align crew discusses how the policy priorities of employers continue to fall apart as President Trump's escalating controversies drag the business agenda far off course.

Also in this episode, the Align team explains how things went for a billionaire restaurant owner who stuck a 3-percent surcharge on customer bills over a local minimum-wage increase. Hint: It wasn't good. Plus, the legislative scorecard from across the country, including a warning to employers from the Internal Revenue Service about Affordable Care Act requirements that still exist.
