President-elect Joe Biden expressed his support for two policies that will directly affect the restaurant industry.The President-elect says that he is in favor of a $15 minimum wage and additional COVID-19 relief.Biden stated that, with his election and the results of the Georgia runoff, the time has come for federal action.People in both parties now recognize it's time to raise the minimum wage so hardworking people earn at least $15 an hour. No one who works 40 hours a week in America should still live below the poverty line. They are entitled to a minimum of $15 an hour, President-elect Joe Biden.He also mentioned the need for more financial aid within the hospitality industry.The bipartisan COVID relief package passed in December is an important step, but just a downpayment. Next week, I will be laying out the groundwork for the next COVID economic relief package that meets this critical moment for our economy and country, President-elect Joe Biden.That all sounds really nice, so hopefully we can get it done in the coming months
