To say “there has been quite a bit of attention paid to whistleblower claims and lawsuits recently” is likely the understatement of the year. Indeed, the U.S. Senate declared July 30, 2014, as “National Whistleblower Appreciation Day” for the second year in row. This resolution came on the anniversary of the first ever whistleblower protection law enacted on July 30, 1778. Things have certainly changed since 1778 and, most significantly, within the past 10 years. It is more critical now, than ever, for labor and employment attorneys, corporate executives, human resources professionals, community and union leaders, and employees to know the evolving rights and responsibilities of whistleblowers and their employers in this ever-changing arena.
Given this backdrop, the Labor & Employment Law Section is pleased to announce it has combined forces with the United State Department of Labor to present SOX, OSHA, and Beyond: Litigating Whistleblower Claims at the DOL. This “must see” seminar will be presented in ten major cities around the country (see Save the Date at right). Watch this page for listings when registration opens for each city.
