“EEOC and DOL ‘Stimulus Package’: Will They Be Knocking on Your Door Soon?” Speakers Christine E. Reinhard and Justin Sobey – Schmoyer Reinhard Breakfast Briefing

December 3, 2009

Christine E. Reinhard and Justin Sobey presented on the topic, “EEOC and DOL ‘Stimulus Package’: Will They Be Knocking on Your Door Soon?” at the Schmoyer Reinhard Breakfast Briefing.  The presentation focused on how in the first year of the Obama Administration, Congress aggressively addressed labor and employment issues and how the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Department of Labor, buoyed by increased funding and manpower, have significantly stepped-up their enforcement efforts against employers of all sizes.

 The presentation explored how the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s and Department of Labor’s increased enforcement have affected employers, what type of issues are being targeted, and what employers can do to avoid the government knocking on their door.
