“Trumped Up” Terminations – A Labor and Employment Year in Review, and What to Expect for 2018

Labor is the backbone of every pavement maintenance contractor – and labor law is undergoing a transformation under the Donald Trump presidency. In this session, presented by the chair of his firm’s wage and hour section, you’ll learn the significant impact the current administration has had on labor and employment law. You’ll review key cases and regulatory changes from 2017 – and learn how they will impact your operation -- in the areas of wage and hour law under the Fair Labor Standards Act; harassment and discrimination law under Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. You’ll leave with a better understanding of the current state of employment law and take home insights into trends and what to expect in 2018.
