Employment law is changing by the day due to renegade Executive Orders and actions and statements by federal agencies that undercut cherished precedent. But New York State remains a viable avenue for relief and is stepping up to protect its workers with the passage of new laws. Join us for a conversation about rights and remedies for residents of New York State with Alison Kent-Friedman, Section Chief of the Workers’ Compensation Labor Bureau for the New York State Office of the Attorney General; Erin Sobkowski, Deputy General Counsel for the New York State Division of Human Rights; and NELA/NY Legislative Advocacy Committee Co-Chair Christopher Marlborough to share some recent New York legislative victories, including 1) a bill preserving disparate impact claims under the State Human Rights Law, 2) the Reasonable Accommodation Anti-Retaliation Act, and 3) the TRAPped at Work Act.
