    This program will focus on the changes to the American workplace during the first year of the Trump administration. With new judges on the federal courts, new leadership in the federal workplace regulatory agencies, and promises to rescind many of President Obama’s employment-related Executive Orders, the new administration signals a major shift in policy. Presenters will describe the impact of this new leadership on American employers and employees. A panel of leading labor and employment scholars will discuss a broad range of hot-button issues such as the overtime rule, the enforceability of class action waivers in arbitration agreements, whether discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is prohibited by Title VII, the NLRB’s position on joint employment and “quickie” election rules, and whether President Trump’s promise to trim the federal workforce has resulted in a dismantling of civil service protections for federal employees.

    The Section held a virtual business meeting prior to the Annual Meeting.
