Labor & Employment Section open
meeting
Improving workplace
conditions through strategic enforcement
Tuesday, Feb. 7, 12:30-2 p.m.
MBA, 20 West St., Boston
In 2010, a team led by economics
professor David Weil of the Boston University School of Management
issued a report, which was commissioned by the United States
Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division, entitled "Improving
Workplace Conditions Through Strategic Enforcement." The
report has been embraced by both the DOL Wage and Hour Division,
and by the Office of the Massachusetts Attorney General, and has
caused a seismic shift in the way those enforcement agencies
approach wage and hour enforcement.
The Labor & Employment Section Council invites MBA members to
a discussion of the far-reaching impact of this little understood
report.
The panelists include George Rioux, district
director of the DOL Wage and Hour Division and Jocelyn
Jones, deputy chief of the Massachusetts Attorney
General's Fair Labor Division. The panel will be moderated by John
Tocci of Tocci, Goss & Lee PC.
