  • CA SB553

    I just listened to all three parts of the three parts series on the new California workplace violence prevention plan, and all of its requirements. I found this podcast extremely helpful, very well thought out, excellent comments about the Podcasters background, which gave credibility to the whole program. Excellent job and would recommend highly to California employers.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mandatory First Contract Arbitration: How the Faster Labor Contracts Act Would Reshape Federal Labor Law
Q: Can you give a brief description of what the Faster Labor Contracts Act is?
It would shift bargaining on first contracts from voluntary negotiation to a 120-day deadline enforced by a federal mediation service, with a government-dictated contract if no agreement is reached, effectively ending workplace democracy for at least two years.
Workplace Strategies Watercooler 2026: EEOC Trends, Enforcement Shifts, and What Employers Should Do Now
Q: So why don't we start off, Aimee, you want to talk about some of the things that have happened over the last year as far as executive orders and opinions coming out from the EEOC during this new administration?
Aimee explains that the new administration issued several executive orders aimed at rolling back certain DEI policies from the Biden era, redefining gender classifications, and signaling new enforcement priorities, with Chair Lucas steering EEOC in line with those federal policy shifts.
Workplace Strategies Watercooler 2026: Effective Investigations in the Age of AI and Remote Work
Q: Why are investigations so important these days?
They are expected by employees and useful for preventing escalation, avoiding liability, and supporting proper actions; a well-executed investigation can defend the company in litigation and demonstrate that the right steps were taken.
Workplace Strategies Watercooler 2026: Your Ultimate Checklist for Leaves, Accommodations, and Benefit Plan Compliance
Q: What does step two look like in the process?
Step two involves actively engaging the employee to discuss needs and gather information, including a structured form that captures how the employee struggles with specific duties and potential reasonable accommodations.
Early Dismissal of Applications by HRTO Critiqued by Ontario’s Divisional Court
Q: On the question of disability, is there any type of specific definition of disability that comes out of the legislation?
The Code defines disability in broad terms, but the case requires a multi-dimensional analysis that goes beyond a bare bodily injury to consider participation in society, severity, duration, and potential impact on employment participation.
