Employment and Labor Law: What to Watch for in 2011 and Beyond
Overview:
The Obama Administration is taking important steps to update and enforce employment and labor laws in order to ensure equal opportunity for all workers. Given these emerging trends, employers and attorneys must always be on the look out for the latest developments in labor and employment regulations that the Department of Labor (DOL), National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) are working on.
A panel of government officials and thought experts will discuss the updates on employment and labor laws in a LIVE two-hour Webcast presented by the Knowledge Group.
