About the Program
Not surprisingly, the early months of a new presidential administration can be tumultuous, as government agencies, their representatives, and stakeholders—employers, employees, and their advocates—try to ascertain which of a new president’s campaign trail promises were merely rhetoric and which might become law.
The Trump Administration’s bold strides into a naturally chaotic environment have—in some instances—invigorated an atypically robust debate around the future of employee pay laws, how they will be enforced, and whether the administration’s actions might trigger a ripple effect of litigation seeking a toehold in the uncertainty and in the backlash against the rollback of decades-old worker protections that some view as antiquated and contrary to the capitalist ideals that serve as the foundation for this great American experiment.
Our panelists have a lively discussion of how all of this might affect the evolution of state and federal wage & hour law, and government enforcement and litigation under it. Hot topics include:
