American Conference Institute
New York, NYMag Bickford (New Orleans) co-presented “Exploring the Current and Anticipated Impacts of the New Presidential Administration on Employment Discrimination Claims” during ACI’s 9th Annual Forum on Defending and Managing Employment Discrimination Litigation on September 26 in New York. The presentation covered how changes in leadership at federal agencies (DOL, EEOC, OFCCP, NLRB) are likely to affect workplace discrimination claims going forward; what effects new appointments and vacancies might have on pending discrimination cases, or on regulations and guidelines previously issued under the Obama administration; what to expect from state-level regulation and enforcement under the new administration and an examination of predictions of increased state activity amidst federal scaling back; and what changes we might see in litigation with the government.
