"More pro-employee laws on the way?"
"...more
pro-employee legislation could become law, and some warn that employers
can expect stricter enforcement of existing laws by federal agencies."
"There
are at least 27 different pieces of legislation proposing changes
to federal law affecting just about every aspect of the
employer-employee relationship," said C. R. Wright a partner with
the law firm Fisher & Phillips L.L.P. in Atlanta.
Valerie
J. Hoffman, a partner with law firm Seyfarth Shaw L.L.P. in Chicago,
said she expects the federal agencies to take "a vigorous approach to
employment issues that will continue to put the pressure on employers
nationwide."
"I
absolutely think that employer enforcement is going to kick up a notch"
during the next year, said Martha J. Zackin, of counsel with law firm
Mintz Levin Cohn Ferris Glovsky & Popeo P.C. in Boston.
"These agencies now have bigger budgets and will use those budgets to
enforce what past administrations didn't necessarily focus
on."
