During the 2020 campaign, President-Elect Joe Biden and Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris announced a series of proposed changes to federal labor and employment laws that could swing the pendulum in a decidedly worker-friendly direction. The Biden-Harris platform includes, among other things, measures to make private-sector unionization easier, a minimum wage hike and broader overtime rules, a crackdown on independent contractor misclassification, and restrictions on non-compete clauses and other restrictive covenants often included in employment agreements. During this presentation (which will take place shortly after the Georgia runoff elections that will determine the composition of the Senate) we will discuss what employers should be preparing for under a Biden-Harris administration.
