CDF Webinar: How the New Biden/Harris Administration is Likely to Affect California Employers
For the last four years, California employers have mostly been focused on changes in state and local law, as the Trump administration has done little to regulate employers. Later this month, when the administration changes in Washington, everything is likely to change. Increased regulation at the state and local level will certainly continue, but also, new employment laws and regulations from Congress and the Executive Branch are likely to commence within the first 100 days of the Biden/Harris administration. If you are interested in learning where the focus of the new administration is likely to be when it comes to labor, employment and immigration law, don’t miss this webinar.
During this complimentary webinar, presenters will discuss the following:
– The potential for paid family leave
– Radical changes in immigration enforcement and regulation
– Whether the Federal Arbitration Act and mandatory arbitration agreements are at risk
– How the NLRB is likely to make it easier for unions to organize your workers
– Why government contractors are going to see the ramifications of administration change quicker than other employers
– Many other related issues
Please join Richard M. Green, Partner and Chair of CDF’s Immigration Practice Group, and Mark S. Spring, Partner and Chair of CDFs Traditional Labor Law Practice Group for this informative and educational webinar.
