Employment Law Bulletin

A Monthly Report On Labor Law Issues

Volume XXXXIII, Issue 7

In This Issue: In a move that could reshape the balance of power in Washington, the Supreme Court has signaled that the President may have the authority to fire the heads of independent federal agencies without cause, a decision with immediate and far-reaching consequences for everything from labor relations to consumer protection. This newsletter delves into the critical details of this landmark ruling, alongside practical guidance on a surprisingly related workplace challenge: how to tell if someone is lying, using techniques developed by the CIA. We also cover recent federal court decisions striking down EEOC protections for transgender and pregnant workers, a unanimous Supreme Court ruling that grants majority groups the same rights as minorities to sue for discrimination, and the latest updates on Temporary Protected Status for various countries. These developments are actively reshaping the legal landscape for employers and employees alike; read on to understand what they mean for you.
