Mark Chumley

In this new podcast episode, recent cases and news from the world of Labor & Employment Law will be discussed, including:

 SpaceX v. NLRB – The NLRB issued a complaint against SpaceX and in response, SpaceX filed its own lawsuit claiming that the entire structure of the NLRB is unconstitutional. This could get interesting.

 Johnson v. Federal Information Systems, Inc. – In this case, an employee was discharged after making a complaint of discrimination, which sounds like a classic retaliation claim except for one key fact.

 Ledesma v. Orland Park Wedding Center, Inc. – What should you do if an employee discloses mental health conditions and asks for a leave of absence?

 Galette v. Avenue 365 Lending Services LLC – Can an employee make an accommodation request that alters their job duties?

 DOL Issues Industry Specific PUMP Act Guidance– Earlier this month, the DOL issued industry-specific guidance for compliance with the PUMP Act.  The recent guidance covers the restaurant and retail industries.  Prior guidance was issued for the agricultural industry and guidance for the transportation and education industries is pending.  

 You can find the DOL guidance here.

 Listen in to find out what happened with these issues and how your business can avoid problems.
