The work of the Electoral College is finished, the Georgia Senate runoffs have been decided, and the Biden-Harris Administration has begun. In this timely program scheduled for January 20, 2021, David Smith and Warren Lightfoot, Shareholders in Maynard Cooper’s Labor & Employment Practice Group, will focus on the universe of potential legal developments in L&E law that will occur in the earliest days of the new administration. The presentation will cover the existing laws and regulations that will be the center of change for the Biden White House and the constituencies that so strongly supported his candidacy. What can we expect in terms of reversing Trump’s executive orders, Biden’s appointments to lead federal agencies, the invigorated war on the pandemic, the federal minimum wage law and its amendment and enforcement, the expansion of the Unions’ rights to organize workers, and the enhanced enforcement of OSHA laws and regulations, to mention a few?
This program will raise our awareness of and help us prepare for the particular changes that will follow the platforms of the Biden campaign and the pace at which these agendas will influence the law in our country. All businesses with employees will be affected, and we encourage all of our members to participate in this program.
