The Political Pendulum: Navigating Labor and Employment Law Under Changing Administrations
The regulatory environment for labor and employment law is not static; it is a direct reflection of the political party in power. This CLE program is designed to provide attendees a critical understanding of how the political climate and shifts in government directly impact federal labor and employment law. This course will go beyond a simple review of regulations to analyze the ideological drivers behind key policy changes, offering a strategic lens for predicting future shifts and advising clients proactively. Panelists will examine how a change in presidential administration can lead to dramatic reversals in regulatory guidance, enforcement priorities, and judicial appointments, creating a "political pendulum" that defines the modern workplace.
