Happy Employer Day: 140 employment-law characters to follow

September 6, 2011 | by Eric B. Meyer

Yesterday was Labor Day. And on Labor Day we honor the working men and women who are the lifeblood of American industry.

Most of us spent the day with family or friends, barbecuing or just taking it easy with a cold beer. Not me.

I spent the day making a special gift for employers. The way I figure it, no one gets honored on the day after Labor Day…until now.

Sure, this blog kicks out some great labor-and-employment-law news and insight. Still, I’m but one man. With one blog. So, what I have for you is this link to 140 employment lawyers, HR folks, and other great resources on Twitter who constantly push out awesome information that will keep you compliant and way ahead of the curve. (If you’re not the list, sorry, your post-dated two-party check didn’t clear, deadbeat. Email me and I’ll look into adding you).

Happy Day After Labor Day (a/k/a Employer Day).

You know that scientist in the action movie who has all the right answers if only the government would just pay attention? If you want a nerdy employment-lawyer brain to help you solve HR-compliance issues proactively before the action sequence, I’m here to help. I'm not only an EEOC-approved trainer, I offer day-to-day employment counseling, workplace audits and investigations, and other prophylactic measures to keep your workplace working while you focus on running your business. And for those employers in the midst of conflict, I bring all of my know-how to bear as your zealous advocate. I’m a trial-tested, experienced litigator that has represented companies of all sizes in a veritable alphabet soup of employment law claims, such as the ADA, ADEA, CEPA, FMLA, FLSA, NJLAD, PHRA, Title VII, and USERRA. I also help clients litigate disputes involving restrictive covenants such as non-competition and non-solicitation agreements, as well as conflicts over use of trade secrets and other confidential information.
