Challenges facing employers, employees, and unions relative to employee speech abound in the context of the current legal and political landscape, which continues to evolve at a lightning speed. This panel will explore the spate of adverse employment actions arising from employee remarks about the murder of Charlie Kirk, as well as similar trends that have surfaced as employers and employees express opinions on this and other potentially volatile topics, ranging from transgender rights to the Israel-Gaza conflict.
Join this program for an intense and lively discussion of some of the most cutting-edge issues facing both sides of the labor and employment bar.
