A Monthly Report On Labor Law Issues

Volume XXXX, Issue 9

In this issue: In this issue, we delve into the complex considerations employers face when dealing with abortion issues in the aftermath of the Supreme Court's Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health decision. From navigating state laws and privacy concerns to evaluating employee benefits and compliance, employers are grappling with a multitude of challenges. Next, we explore the EEOC's study on the impact of requesting pay data from employers, shedding light on the usefulness and limitations of such data for combating pay discrimination. We then turn our attention to recent EEOC guidance on COVID-19, highlighting the changes in workplace testing requirements and the continued focus on balancing ADA standards with public health concerns. Finally, we examine an interesting trend: while non-union workers experience faster wage growth amid high inflation, union wages struggle to keep up due to the nature of long-term collective bargaining agreements.
