Manufacturing, Other Employers’ Compliance With Immigration Rules During Strikes

Posted: September 18, 2023 | Jackson Lewis Category: Labor Law - Strikes

After the United Auto Workers’ (UAW) labor contracts with the “Detroit Three” automakers expired on September 14, 2023, and the parties were not able to agree on new contract terms, the UAW began striking at targeted plants at midnight on September 15, 2023. Manufacturing and other companies within the automotive supplier network bracing for a resulting downturn in orders may be looking to implement potentially long-term loss mitigation strategies such as furlough, pay cuts, altered schedules, and even layoffs. Employers of foreign workers must consider how these actions affect their compliance with federal immigration rules.

Noncompete News: The More Things Change, the More They Remain the Same: Georgia Supreme Court Addresses Choice of Law Provisions in Noncompete Context

Posted: September 18, 2023 | Ford Harrison Category: Georgia - Restrictive Covenants

Historically, Georgia courts have declined to apply another state’s law to determine whether to enforce restrictive covenants against a Georgia employee, regardless of whether the agreement stated that another state’s law controlled (choice-of-law provision). So, too, Georgia’s law has long distinguished between restrictive covenants that are reasonable (in scope, duration, and geographic reach) and those that are unreasonable; the former are enforceable, while the latter are considered “in general restraint of trade.” Contracts that are “in general restraint of trade” are “deemed to be contrary to public policy” and “cannot be enforced” in Georgia. O.C.G.A. 13-8-2(a).
