At long last, the Senate late last yr restored a quorum 2 a beleaguered #NLRB. Eager 2 see what the Agency's next steps are, while some percolating questions in the Courts about the scope of the Board's authority in key areas loom overhead: hrdive.com/news/nlrb-nomi… via HR Dive

This Pittsburgh reporting institution dates back in some form to 1786. Permanent shuttering is an absolute loss for the city and region, even if the reasons for the closure are much more layered than a lot of what you'll probably hear

The PGH Post-Gazette publishers were hardly model citizens. And they've legally mis-stepped with their union a few times. But 2 other things are equally true: 1) print industry has been failing 4 a while; 2) healthcare costs are out of control, & by no full fault of the business

When a biz tells u in bargaining it has limits on what it can do w/healthcare costs, its real. When the Union insists too hard on its own position that isnt sustainable, business closure could result. Reasons 4 shuttering here are multi-faceted, but they dont want u 2 hear that 1

More sparring is occurring between former #EEOC officials and current agency leadership, this time surrounding the Commission's intent to rescind its anti-harassment guidance: hrdive.com/news/former-ee… via HR Dive

The #DOL recently promised more opinion letters, and they are already delivering. Here's a read summarizing some they issued a few days ago, including one clarifying it's stance on travel time under the #FMLA: hrdive.com/news/dol-fmlas… via HR Dive

For all employers who think it remains okay 2 avoid hiring women or worse, refuse 2 provide them bathrooms, this Ohio employer -- w/some help from the #EEOC -- was kind enough to provide 2 million reminders why you kinda, sorta, shouldn't do those things: eeoc.gov/newsroom/glunt…

Its some look 4 a govt agency (local as it is) 2 formally sanction a program on 'Civil Disobedience' instead of focusing on genuine enforcement of the already extremely expansive anti-discrimination City Ordinance/related protections within its purview. Maybe stay in your lane?

Here are 5 trends that will shape #HR in 2026, and I bet nobody believes the list leads off with #AI. But don't overlook the other trends, including those about #discrimination and workplace culture: hrdive.com/news/hr-2026-t… via HR Dive

The new, expected -- or, maybe better said, what is old is new again -- #DOL independent contractor rule is beginning to move along: hrdive.com/news/new-indep… via HR Dive

The #DOL's back wage recovery hit a 5-year high in 2025, despite closing fewer cases, which means employers still need to do a lot of work with their #WageAndHour compliance efforts: hrdive.com/news/dol-wage-… via HR Dive

As expected, the #EEOC has now scraped its early 2024 #harassment guidance: hrdive.com/news/eeoc-resc… via HR Dive

1 year into Trump 2.0, #HR professionals are ‘caught in the middle’ of the DEI debate: hrdive.com/news/one-year-… via HR Dive

This case is a useful primer (reminder?) on the scope of illegal harassment and retaliation under Title VII: hrmorning.com/news/harassmen…

Shots were fired Fri from the #FTC issuing warning letters to a # of law firms on anticompetitive #DEI hiring coalescing around their participation in the Mansfield Certification program, 1 of the requirements of which is 2 employ diverse hiring practices ftc.gov/news-events/ne…

This was a great read on 10 #EmploymentLaw risks that it's probably wise for employers and #HR to track this year in 2026: hrmorning.com/news/new-emplo…

I feel the headline here that employers are in a bind is overstated. Even tho the entire Guidance was rescinded, many longstanding #harassment concepts & application in it remain advisable 4 employers 2 follow. Ignore those at your own risk! hrdive.com/news/eeoc-hara… via HR Dive

Saying unposted job openings create age #discrimination risk is a BIT rich 4 me. This case was more about the unwise comment someone w/the employer made, saying a plaintiff should “start thinking about retiring” as he was “too old for this business.”😬 hrmorning.com/news/age-discr…
