A Monthly Report On Labor Law Issues

Volume XXXXIII, Issue 2

In this issue: The newsletter covers key developments following President Trump's inauguration, focusing on his sweeping executive orders on immigration, including reinstating the "Remain in Mexico" policy, suspending refugee admissions, and designating drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. It also highlights rising healthcare premiums, employer concerns over surcharges for unhealthy habits, and changes in judicial appointments, with Trump poised to reshape the federal courts. Additionally, a Supreme Court ruling makes it easier for employers to defend against overtime claims. Lastly, the new Secretary of Labor, despite some pro-union ties, is expected to take a moderate approach amid major upcoming labor negotiations.
