Employers, employees, unions, and independent contractors: How changes in the law are affecting the workplace

The continuing evolution of labor and employment laws at the federal, state and local levels kept us on our toes in 2024. Now let’s sit down with our panelists as they share what employers need to know to stay compliant in 2024 and what employees and independent contractors need to know about their workplace rights and obligations. During our sessions, practitioners from all sides of the table will discuss, among other things, how federal, state, and local employment laws changed in 2024; the impact of the US Supreme Court’s decisions in Loper and Starbucks; and managing neurodiversity in the workplace.

Highlights and Objectives:

• Learn about recent changes in labor and employment laws that affect every New Yorker.
• Learn how decisions on the federal level, by the National Labor Relations Board and Supreme Court, affect your workplace rights and obligations.
