Infrastructure, Energy & Natural Resources Roundtable

Thursday, June 17, 2021  |  12:00 pm to 1:00 pm

Our recurring roundtable discussion for the infrastructure, energy and natural resources industry is back! We are a group of in-house counsel from BC that meet several times a year for casual discussion of the real-time challenges of in-house, offering a peer support network of diverse and experienced in-house counsel. 

Our industry roundtables have no agenda! Bring your questions and challenges to a table of in-house counsel from the infrastructure, energy and natural resources industries to gain valuable feedback and solutions.

Andrew Buddle, ACC Board Member and Corporate Counsel at Teck Resources, will be our host for this discussion. We hope you can join us.

VIRTUAL LOCATION

This event is hosted via the ACCBC Zoom Meeting Room. Zoom meeting details were made available via the invitation, and will also be sent to registrants in a reminder e-mail a day before the event.

ANTI-TRUST STATEMENTACC and ACC members need to be mindful of constraints of anti-trust or competition laws when engaging with each other at ACC–hosted activities. ACC's Annual Meeting, chapter/division events, workshops, group gatherings, webcasts, seminars/sessions, electronic community platforms, social networking groups, and any other group gathering (facilitated by technology or in person) are conducted for educational purposes, to provide a forum for the open discussion and free exchange of ideas even amongst companies that may otherwise compete in the marketplace. At any gatherings, members are reminded that it is their responsibility to avoid (and where they see others acting in such a manner, to discourage) any agreement or inappropriate conversations that could have anti-competitive effects or could constitute a restraint on trade. In discussing the pros and cons on a topic of discussion, members may express an opinion, but must avoid collective agreements on how any particular issue/matter should be handled. For more information on appropriate and inappropriate competitive behavior at ACC meetings, please read our Competition Law Guidelines.

Pay equity continues to be a focus for employers and their employees, government agencies, shareholders and plaintiffs’ class action attorneys. The discussion expands beyond gender, as states continue to adopt laws that mandate pay equity based on race and other protected classes. Pay equity also is an important component of a public commitment to a culture that supports racial justice, including in the workplace.

This program will discuss a range of topics as outlined below, including the controversial Executive Order 13950 intended to “combat offensive and anti-American race and sex stereotyping and scapegoating.”

  • Update on the EEOC’s review of how they may use collected EEO-2 data
  • California’s new pay data reporting obligations
  • Colorado’s new pay equity law and “transparency” requirements Oracle’s win against the OFCCP on systemic workplace discrimination claims
  • How the 2020 election might impact pay equity in the future
  • Executive Order 13950 – where does it stand now?

Moderator:
Cheryl D. Orr, Partner, Faegre Drinker

Panelists:
Alyssa Allen, Director, Employment Legal, Uber
Lynne Anne Anderson, Partner, Faegre Drinker
