Labor Law: Where We Are Today
So we've been to 1964 and now we're back in 2011. I know this because there isn't a pair of bell bottoms in sight.
During those 47 years the workplace has morphed from orgiastic Christmas parties (they were actually called that in 1964) to a landscape of sensitivities, appropriateness, offendedness and a dash of hand wringing, all set against a complicated backdrop of labor laws.
While I write with occasional humor and wit (I hope) I want to make it clear that I agree with the intent of 98% of these laws and state flatly that these laws have created a better overall workplace. I think the female Aaron Rentals employee deserved every cent of the $95,000,000.
That is the reality in 2013, so employers had better know the rules of the game because the penalties are serious.
