On this episode of the Working Lunch podcast, Align Public Strategies discusses the potential comeback of the Equal Rights Amendment. The looming conversation over women’s rights could put large brands in the middle of an unexpected — and potentially unpleasant — conversation. 

In addition, the Align crew looks at the state of the American labor movement and what the next few years could look like for operators. The team also goes over high-profile election results — especially in Florida where the governor’s race could be a dress rehearsal for the presidential election in 2020 — and shares the weekly legislative scorecard.
