This substantive 1 credit course, presented by employment and entertainment attorney Jeffrey Campolongo, will take a closer look at the increased protections employees and independent contractors can expect in the Biden/Harris Administration. After a fiercely contentious, chaos-inducing, and at times, dystopian run up to the 2020 presidential election, Joe Biden was sworn in as our 46th president on January 20, 2021. The new administration will be poised to implement sweeping policy changes, including greater protections for workers, unions and independent contractors. Learning Objectives (what attorneys can expect to learn from the program) The course will explore the most likely changes that employment lawyers might encounter. Examples of issue to be discussed include the following: Increasing the Federal Minimum Wage To $15 Protecting and Strengthening Labor Unions Eliminating Mandatory Arbitration Clauses, Non-Compete Clauses and No-Poaching Agreements Ending Wage Theft and Worker Misclassification Enforcing Prevailing Wages, Increasing Workplace Safety Measures and Protecting Undocumented Workers
