2011 has been a year of sweeping new regulations, landmark court
rulings, and ramped up enforcement. From new ADA regs to the Wage and
Hour Division’s collaboration with the American Bar Association to
establish a sue-your-employer system called the “Bridge to Justice”,
employers have had plenty to deal with. The U.S. Supreme Court,
meanwhile, issued several significant decisions, including two in favor
of employees that dealt with retaliation.
Other issues include an uptick in class actions and health care
reform, which continues to spew out rules and timetables despite
numerous legal challenges. Federal agencies also have taken new tacks on
the immigration and employee misclassification fronts. In this session,
