Recent Event

On June 9 and 10, the Center held the 77th Annual Conference on Labor & Employment Law: Trump Administration Initiatives & Opportunities for New Approaches. The new Republican administration has garnered more support from working Americans and some labor unions than in decades. Despite concerns in some quarters about the President’s style and willingness to discard or radically alter the existing playbook, that willingness also presents a historic opportunity for entertaining new approaches in workplace law and policy.
