Summary
In today's episode: Regulatory rollbacks around worker safety are stirring debate, but the more interesting question is who's actually asking for them and why. A company saving money on wages might be losing far more somewhere else. A story about a Chinese auto manufacturer's European rollout reveals why the people closest to a decision often make the best call. CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel is a 5-minute daily podcast where business pragmatism meets inner wisdom. John Frehse, Global Head of Labor Strategies at Ankura, joins Jessica to discuss shifting labor protections, below market wages, and why trust in local decision making often beats control from the top.
