  • Navigating Employment Law as the Ground Shifts at the EEOC

    Navigating Employment Law as the Ground Shifts at the EEOC
    Oct 27 2026
    Sweeping changes are reshaping the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency charged with enforcing a variety of anti-discrimination laws. Under the current administration, shifting priorities are the new normal, including limits on what the Commission can, and cannot, do. Guests Leslie Silverman is a shareholder in the Washington, DC office of the law firm of Fortney & Scott, and Jenny Yang is a partner with the firm of Outten & Golden and a past chair and member of the EEOC. In this episode, they explore what these changes mean for employment law professionals. Recent policy shifts have upended the Commission’s positions on many anti-discrimination issues including those regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion, data collection, and LGBTQ+ policies. The commission’s own internal operations, as well as its priorities, have undergone extensive changes that could affect the practice of employment law. If you practice employment and labor law, these are challenging times as the federal government’s new model may impact the way you represent clients, both employees and employers. You can’t miss this episode. REFERENCES MENTIONED: Equal Employment Opportunity Commission EEOLeaders Trump v.

  • “Labour” with a “U”: Canadian vs. United States Labor Law

    “Labour” with a “U”: Canadian vs. United States Labor Law
    Sep 15 2026
    The relationship between Canada and the United States has made headlines over the summer, but the two countries also pose some unique, cross-border labor challenges. Guests Christopher Deehy and Cody Yorke are international labor and employment lawyers specializing in Canada/U.S. relations who deal with these differences daily. Independent of the political climate, interactions on the labor and employment front create their own issues. One big difference is that unlike the United States, in Canada each province has its own labor laws, and in some cases such as banking, federal rules may also apply. It’s imperative to understand these variances when dealing with cross-border labor relations. Oh, then there’s the French civil law code in Quebec and the use of the French language. Canada is not just “United States North,” it has its own laws and what may apply in the U.S. may not apply in Canada. For example, the “at-will” employment rules of the U.S. may not apply in Canada, where advance notice may be required. If you’re doing business across the border, this could be a factor. No podcast can fully explore every aspect of the differences in labor and employment law between the U.S. and Canada, but if you’re working with a client with employment issues across the border, this intriguing episode with get you thinking about the questions you’ll want to ask.

  • AI Tools and Labor Law: Legal Guardrails and Looming Minefields

    AI Tools and Labor Law: Legal Guardrails and Looming Minefields
    Aug 18 2026
    How is AI finding its way into the legal arena of labor and employment law, and how well do you understand this emerging field and the potential perils? Guests Nina T. Pirrotti and Daniel A. Schwartz are both experienced labor and employment attorneys who have encountered AI in the scope of their work and are sorting through the federal legal vacuum and emerging state laws. What they’ve found are AI programs that take inputs, analyze them, and provide recommendations in employment and labor relations. This can include scanning resumes, drafting job descriptions, performance reviews, summarizing documents, and even sending rejection letters. Are computers replacing human judgment? And it’s not just employers using AI. Job seekers are learning to use AI to create resumes and cover letters that match job descriptions, even burying coding inside applications designed to convince the AI screener to select them for an interview. “It truly is an AI arms race,” Pirrotti says. Job seekers use AI to flood the market with applications, and employers are so overwhelmed they use AI to screen them. But AI isn’t perfect. In a drive for efficiency, AI has the potential to discriminate against people who may be qualified but have a disability, be neurodivergent, or simply not meet the “norms” a program has been trained to see. There are legal minefields (and potential liabilities) out there. Is there a class action suit just itching to be filed?
