Event Details

Changes and new mandates are coming quickly and often with little advanced notice to employers.  Is your organization prepared for the bargaining implications of the new overtime exemptions and joint employer rulings, as well as other aggressive labor policies pursued by the DOL and NLRB?  What will a new presidential administration bring?  Other topics to be discussed at this session include the implementation of discipline in a unionized environment and the NLRB’s intrusion into employer handbooks and the workplace.
