In the wake of election results earlier this month that will result in a Republican president and a Republican-controlled Congress in 2025, it’s reasonable to expect some changes in employment law.
I’ve assembled an all-star panel of employment lawyers to explore them, including my partners Amy Epstein Gluck and Dessi Day and two of my other favorite management-side attorneys, Jon Hyman and Daniel Schwartz.
So, if you haven’t registered to join us on Zoom on Tuesday, November 19, 2024, at Noon ET, what are you waiting for? After all, it’s free. You can register here (https://bit.ly/EmploymentLaw2025).
Among the topics we try to squeeze into the hour:
- How the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s makeup and priorities might change.
- All that, plus the decisions that the National Labor Relations Board may seek to overturn.
- We can expect a return to more opinion letters and less litigation at the U.S. Department of Labor. But, perhaps the agency will revert to more business-friendly takes on joint employment and employee misclassification.
- Meanwhile, the Federal Trade Commission’s noncompete ban is on life support. But will an appellate court revive it? Or will the feds first withdraw it altogether?
- Last Friday, the Loper Bright decision paved the way for a Texas federal judge to upend the DOL’s new overtime rules. Could there be more Loper Bright employment waves in 2025?
Time permitting, we’ll discuss potential employment legislation, such as paid family leave, policies on artificial intelligence, the viability of DEI, a hike in the federal minimum wage, and state law versus federal law.
We hope to see you today at noon ET.
