Description of Program

At our September 16, 2021 meeting, Labor & Employment Attorney, Dave McClurg will update us on the changes that are occurring in response to the growing pressure for increases in federal and state minimum wage laws and pay equity, along with the actions being taken by the Biden administration on these issue through Executive Orders and Department of Labor and EEOC rule making.

Dave will also discuss a range of issues arising from the huge number of employees that have been working from home during the pandemic, and the resistance of many of those workers to return to the workplace as restrictions have been lifted.
