Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The NLRB Is No Longer Independent—What Employers Need to Know
Q: What impacts do you expect from Slaughter?
Slaughter suggests that agencies like the NLRB are not independent in the traditional sense, because board members and the general counsel can be removed at the president's discretion, which could alter how agency decisions are made and who has influence over enforcement and policy.
#WorkforceWednesday: Remote Work and Disability Discrimination: What Employers Need to Know
Q: Eric, what does this case tell employers about how to approach remote work accommodation requests in the post-pandemic workplace?
It shows that while remote work can be a legitimate accommodation in some cases, employers should follow a structured interactive process, document essential job duties, offer reasonable alternatives, and avoid automatically assuming all roles can be performed remotely. Clear, specific evidence supporting why on-site presence is necessary is key to reducing liability.
How to Respond to Employee Concerns About ICE Investigations
Q: What should employers consider when creating an investigation response plan?
Employers should implement clear policies and procedures, pre-drafted checklists, trained staff, and a written response plan created with legal counsel to address possible ICE visits, while educating employees on their rights and the limits of what staff can say.
NLRB and DOL Take Action on Joint Employer and Independent Contractor Rules
Q: What are the next steps for this rule?
The notice of proposed rulemaking is open for a 60-day public comment period, with the expectation that the rule could be published in 2026, based on historical trends.
Words Matter: How to Draft Arbitration Agreements That Hold Up in Court
Q: Jonathan, what is your advice when clients use AI to assist in drafting arbitration agreements?
Advise that AI-assisted drafting should be reviewed by counsel; AI can reflect existing guidance but may miss strategic arguments or pending case developments, so human oversight is essential.
