Without waiting on Congress, Obama administration agency actions have changed the landscape for all employers, large and small, union and non-union. Atendees learned about the new rules and what to expect in the future.

Labor Law: Changes That Impact Both Union and Non-union Employers
Speaker: Mark Hutcheson, partner

  • EFCA sinks; NLRB revives its mission
  • Salvaging social media policies after AMR
  • Pre-emptive terminations: a new unfair labor practice
  • The NLRB's selective preemption actions
  • Signs of change: new posters, electronic remedial notices, and "bannering"

Employment Law: Does Your Compliance Focus Match the Government's?
Speaker: Lawton Humphrey, partner

  • The hottest discrimination claims and agency priorities
  • "One-Year and You're Out" leave of absence policies
  • "Too Much Information" — breastfeeding, GINA, and undocumented workers
  • The latest deficit reduction strategy: independent contractor taxes

OFCCP Gets Tougher on Federal Contractors
Speaker: Tom Lemly, partner

  • Two hundred more compliance officers = more audits and investigations
  • Broader outreach to increase individual complaints
