Possible Ramifications of Amazon Union Vote

April 14, 2021 | CDF Labor Law LLP Filed Under: Union Organizing

This past month’s Amazon union election in Alabama received more national attention than any other union election since the Boeing election in South Carolina in February 2017. The press covered it very closely. Politicians offered their views on it. Even President Biden commented on it.

Notwithstanding the publicity, the efforts of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU) failed miserably. Despite a massive campaign by the RWDSU, only 12.5% of the eligible workers actually voted to unionize. Slightly more than half of the 5,800 employees in the proposed bargaining unit cast their ballots. 1,798 rejected unionization and only 738 employees voted in favor of RWDSU representation.

CDF Webinar: Adapting Workplace Investigations to Meet the Challenges of the Moment

April 7, 2021 | CDF Labor Law LLP Filed Under: Workplace Investigations

As the pandemic crisis and the social landscape continues to evolve, so too must the techniques that employers use to investigate workplace concerns.

This webinar will cover how to:

* Safely and effectively conduct investigations as the pandemic continues to present health and logistical complications
* Investigate race discrimination and harassment claims in the rising tide of bias against Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders
* Deal with the fallout from #MeToo, #BlackLivesMatter, and #CancelCulture when conducting workplace investigations

Please join the Chair of CDF’s Internal Investigations Practice Group, Daphne Bishop, and CDF attorney Ashley Lopeztello on April 27, 2021 to learn practical insights for conducting internal investigations in today’s legal, virtual and social landscapes.

Independent Contractors Denied Class Action Status Under the Dynamex ABC Test

March 22, 2021 | CDF Labor Law LLP Filed Under: General (CA)

In a rare victory for employers, a California Court of Appeal in Wilson v. The La Jolla Group, 2021 WL 940283 (3/12/2021) affirmed the trial court’s denial of class certification of independent contractors’ wage and hour claims who alleged they were misclassified. The Court of Appeal, however, reversed the trial court’s denial of class certification as to whether a class could be certified to determine whether the business misclassified the Plaintiffs and violated California’s wage statement requirements, and directed the trial court to review the evidence further. The Wilson Court affirmed long-standing class action principles that certification requires a predominance of common questions of law and fact where liability must be demonstrated by an employer’s uniform policy or consistent practice that violates wage and hour laws. The Court held that Plaintiffs failed to demonstrate predominance due to a wide variety of factual differences among the contractors.

New COVID Stimulus Package Contains 6-Month COBRA Subsidy: Employers Pay, Receive Tax Credit

March 17, 2021 | CDF Labor Law LLP Filed Under: General (COBRA)

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARPA”), the $1.9 trillion COVID relief bill passed by Congress and signed into law by President Biden on March 11, 2021, contains a number of benefits for American workers that their employers will need to understand. Among these is the inclusion of subsidized COBRA coverage for employees (and their family members) who experience a loss of group health coverage due to reduced hours of employment or involuntary termination of employment. Importantly, COBRA premiums are to be paid by employers  who will be reimbursed via a tax credit on their quarterly payroll taxes. As discussed in this HRW Client Alert, this ARPA provision introduces considerable administrative challenges for employers, although additional regulatory guidance is likely to be offered in the coming weeks.
