Logistics Matters with DC VELOCITY

In this episode, our guest is Steve Bell, an attorney for the law firm of Dorsey and Whitney LLC. Steve specializes in labor and employment practice and is here to discuss the ramifications of the Biden administration's new Covid-19 vaccination mandates for federal employees and companies with more the 100 workers. What are the requirements and when are they expected to go into effect? Will these mandates survive the many legal challenges they will face? Steve is here to give us his insights and experience into the laws surrounding employment practices.
While consumers certainly know there are supply chain problems that keep them separated from the goods they desire, they seem to have little patience when it comes to delays. A recent survey shows consumers hold the same expectations they have had during the past year or more. What should shippers expect from consumers as peak season approaches?
The MHI Annual Conference was held in Arizona this past week. A lot of the discussion surrounded the current state of our supply chains and how the industry is poised to meet the challenges we face. In this episode, we report on some key themes and sessions from the conference.
