Union Blitz: Are You Ready for the EFCA?

On Thursday, November 13 at 1:00 PM EST, join Elarbee Thompson for a complimentary webinar on the Employee Free Choice Act ("EFCA"). The EFCA is the most profound change in labor law in 70 years and will result in union representation at many companies within moments of the Act's effective date. With a newly elected President, this piece of legislation will be enacted in some form as early as February 2009. Are you prepared to deal with how this may affect your organization?

Changes to the ADA - Are Your Accomodations Reasonable?

Another important legislative change is the ADA Amendments Act  ("ADAAA"). This legislation will go into effect January 1, 2009 and will directly affect your workplace.  The amendments incorporate major changes to the definition of the term "disability," dramatically expanding coverage of the law, and changes an employer's "reasonable accommodation" obligations. As a result of this legislation, more employees will be qualified as disabled and entitled to reasonable accommodations. Employers will need to hone their reasonable accommodation skills and processes in light of these dramatic legislative developments. Elarbee Thompson invites you to a complimentary webinar regarding the new ADA Amendments Acts on Wednesday, December 3 at 1:00 PM
