Join us on April 14, 2026, for the latest edition of our popular webinar series, What’s Trending in Labor and Employment Law. The speakers will provide brief updates on the latest developments in labor and employment law, including recent litigation involving generative AI allegations in employee lawsuits, new litigation alleging that AI hiring tools trigger FCRA/background check compliance obligations, updated statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics regarding union membership rates and work stoppages, a new damages theory concerning the failure to allow remote work, EEOC guidance on telework as a reasonable accommodation, and a recent decision from the NLRB regarding the implications of contesting a bargaining unit.

On March 26, 2026, President Trump signed an executive order requiring a mandatory clause in covered federal contracts that prohibits “racially discriminatory DEI activities.” Noncompliance with this order may result in contract termination, debarment, and liability under the False Claims Act. The definition of DEI activities is broad, and the enforcement mechanisms are significant, with a tight implementation timeline of just 30 days. Join this timely webinar as the speakers unpack the scope of the executive order, the obligations related to the mandatory clause, potential exposure to the False Claims Act, and practical considerations for contractors navigating compliance. This webinar is designed for anyone holding or pursuing federal contracts, as well as those advising companies on these matters. The speakers will help attendees understand the requirements of the order and what to expect moving forward.
