Other program topics that will be addressed include the following:
• reflections on how the NLRB and the workplace have changed over the course of the past 40 years by the Region’s Director of the NLRB
• labor enforcement issues
• facts about imminent and significant changes that will reestablish the rules around overtime and other wage and hour matters
