##  November 2024 Newsletter

### Employment Law Bulletin

#### A Monthly Report On Labor Law Issues

##### Volume XXXXII, Issue 11

**In this issue:** A new FLSA rule raises the salary threshold for overtime exemptions, but ongoing litigation challenges the DOL’s authority on salary levels. Employers are also under scrutiny for equality in maternity, paternity, and military leave policies, with recent cases testing if extended maternity leave policies disadvantage fathers and if military leave should be paid when comparable leave is paid. The Economist reports waning "woke" sentiment, particularly in corporate America, though DEI remains significant. Meanwhile, recent union strikes at Boeing and major ports highlight growing pro-union demands, sparking concerns about productivity, competitiveness, and economic impact amid calls for wage hikes and restrictions on automation.
