The Obama administration's legislative and regulatory agenda in labor and employment law will have significant consequences for business growth, corporate development, and mergers and acquisitions.  Paul Ostroff, a shareholder at Lane Powell PC specializing in labor and employment law, will review what to expect from Washington over the next year, and how managers can most effectively plan for these changes.

Among the topics Mr. Ostroff will address are:

• The Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA)
  • What it is and how it will make employers more vulnerable to unionization.
  • Which industries will be most vulnerable to unionization if the EFCA is enacted?
  • How managers can reduce the potential for unionization of their company's workforce.
  • How the EFCA may affect financial planning and business valuation in mergers and acquisitions.
• Possible Expansion of the WARNAct ("FOREWARN")
  • How FOREWARN will impact layoffs and workforce restructuring and what managers can do about it.
• Possible Changes Concerning Independent Contractors
• The Fair Pay Act and the Paycheck Fairness Act
• Changes to Wage and Hour Laws and Enforcement Policies
• Immigration Related Policies
• Employee Leave
