Seminar/Webinar

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.

The unrest and anger following the killing of George Floyd in Minnesota and shooting of Jacob Blake in Wisconsin has spilled over into workplaces across the nation, including here in California. Increased awareness of societal racial injustices has led to increased numbers of employees voicing concerns about workplace inequities. Now, more than ever, it is crucial to take these concerns seriously and investigate them properly. This program will address the challenges of investigating concerns about racial discrimination and racial harassment in today’s workplace. We will cover some of the trickiest issues when it comes to these investigations including:

– building trust with witnesses on both sides,
– investigating micro-aggressions, and
– assessing overall organizational culture regarding race-related issues.
