Seldom have we seen such big week in local business news — and we unpack it all on this week's Access Louisville podcast.
First, there was Humana Inc.'s news that a new CEO would be coming in next year. LBF Reporter Joel Stinnett shares a bit of background on the new Humana boss, Jim Rechtin, who comes from a Nashville company that saw its share of financial difficulties.
The leadership change at Humana comes at a time when we've seen a the company decrease its presence in Downtown Louisville with the onset of remote work.
After the Humana discussion, we talk about Kroger, which just broke ground on a new store in the area. Sure it's not as big as a CEO change at Humana but it's not every day when a big new store is announced.
Finally, we round out the show with some talk about United Auto Workers decision to go on strike at the Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville. The strike could have a ripple affect on the company as a whole.
