Employment Law Bulletin

A Monthly Report On Labor Law Issues

Volume XXXXIV, Issue 1

In this edition of the Wimberly Lawson Employment Law Newsletter, we dive into a series of seismic shifts in federal enforcement, including the EEOC’s aggressive new stance against anti-American bias and the administration’s controversial abandonment of the "disparate impact" theory. Beyond high-level policy, the newsletter provides essential practical updates on the $12,500 overtime tax break, the restoration of the NLRB quorum, and the evolving legal risks of using AI for meeting transcriptions. From the ongoing Starbucks strikes to critical updates on Temporary Protected Status (TPS) expirations for various nations, this summary highlights the most pressing developments facing employers in 2026.
