Welcome to AI Lawyer Talking Tech, where we explore the profound changes reshaping the legal profession. Artificial intelligence is ushering in a new era for law firms, affecting everything from legal education to daily practice. We see a developing "GenAI generation gap," prompting educators and firms to rethink how technology is integrated and how lawyers are trained. While AI assists with tasks like research and drafting, experts emphasize that it must augment, not replace, fundamental legal knowledge and ethical reasoning. This technological shift brings critical discussions about the accuracy of AI outputs, highlighted by instances of fake citations in court, and raises concerns about data privacy. The future of law involves humans and machines collaborating, potentially altering compensation models like the billable hour and requiring lawyers to develop a strong digital quotient.

This week, we're covering the U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL's) decision to halt enforcement of the Biden-era independent contractor rule, the upcoming EEO-1 reporting season (starting on May 20), and New York State's new labor law amendment, reducing damages for first-time frequency-of-pay violations.­ DOL Halts Enforcement of Independent Contractor Rule The DOL will no longer enforce the Biden-era independent contractor rule, which sought to tighten the criteria under which a hired worker can be considered an independent contractor for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act. The agency will now revert to the less stringent "economic realities" test. EEO-1 Reporting Begins Soon The proposed 2024 EEO-1 Component 1 data collection season is scheduled to begin on May 20, with a deadline to file by June 24. As expected, Component 2 pay data collection will not be required this year or in the coming years. New York Amends Labor Law to Limit Damages in Frequency-of-Pay Lawsuits New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed into law a budget bill that includes an amendment to the New York Labor Law that dramatically limits the relief employees can seek for first-time violations of frequency-of-pay provisions.  Visit our site for this week's Other Highlights and links: https://www.ebglaw.com/eltw390 Subscribe to #WorkforceWednesday: https://www.ebglaw.com/subscribe/ Visit http://www.EmploymentLawThisWeek.com This podcast is presented by Epstein Becker & Green, P.C.

This week, we highlight new guidance from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and Department of Justice (DOJ) on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)-related discrimination. We also examine the Acting EEOC Chair's letters to 20 law firms regarding their DEI practices, as well as the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) Director's orders to retroactively investigate affirmative action plans. EEOC and DOJ Warn DEI Policies Could Violate Title VII  The EEOC and the DOJ jointly released guidance on discrimination in DEI policies at work, warning that these policies could violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Although the guidance does not define DEI, it provides clarity on the EEOC's focus moving forward. Acting EEOC Chair Targets Law Firms Acting Chair Andrea Lucas sent letters to 20 law firms warning that their employment policies intended to boost DEI may be illegal.  OFCCP Plans Retroactive DEI Enforcement A leaked internal email obtained by The Wall Street Journal reveals that newly appointed OFCCP Director Catherine Eschbach has ordered a review of affirmative action plans submitted by federal contractors during the prior administration. These reviews will be used to help determine whether a federal contractor should be investigated for discriminatory DEI practices. - Visit our site for this week's Other Highlights and links: https://www.ebglaw.com/eltw384 Subscribe to #WorkforceWednesday: https://www.ebglaw.com/subscribe/ Visit http://www.EmploymentLawThisWeek.com This podcast is presented by Epstein Becker & Green, P.C.

This week, we're covering a change in leadership at the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), the reinstatement of National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB” or “Board”) member Gwynne Wilcox (restoring a crucial quorum), and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's (EEOC's) focus on new enforcement priorities. New Leadership at the DOL Lori Chavez-DeRemer was sworn in as the U.S. Secretary of Labor on March 11, 2025, after receiving bipartisan support from the Senate. Secretary Chavez-DeRemer, a former congresswoman with strong backing from organized labor, is generally viewed as a centrist figure. NLRB Quorum Restored—for Now President Trump made waves when he fired NLRB member Gwynne Wilcox shortly after taking office. However, on March 6, a federal judge in the District of Columbia held that Wilcox was “illegally” fired and instructed the NLRB Chair to restore Wilcox's access to the Board and allow her to serve out the remainder of her five-year term. EEOC's New Enforcement Priorities  While many had anticipated a reduction in EEOC enforcement under the new administration, a series of announcements indicate that the agency is instead shifting its priorities and stepping up investigations in new areas, such as anti-American bias, antisemitism, and binary sex and related rights. Additionally, the EEOC has recently issued letters to 20 major law firms, raising concerns about their diversity and inclusion programs. The agency is investigating whether these programs may involve unlawful disparate treatment or classification based on race, sex, or other protected characteristics, in potential violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Employers should take note, as this development may signal a broader enforcement strategy.

Lawmakers in Olympia are considering a proposal that would create tougher regulations around youth labor in Washington. HB 1644 would set minimum penalties for youth labor violations and prohibit companies with multiple serious safety violations from hiring minors.  In 2023, a Washington teen lost both of his legs working on a construction site through a school program. An investigation by Cascade PBS found that public officials and the construction company disregarded safety rules leading up to the injury. Lizz Giordano is an investigative reporter at Cascade PBS. She joins us with details of the bill and her reporting.   

This week, we're covering significant updates shaping workplace policies, including shifts in regulations and enforcement related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI); evolving approaches to Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) compliance; and recent changes in National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) guidance. Anti-DEI Executive Orders Blocked, but Employers Scale Back A Maryland district court temporarily blocked significant portions of two anti-DEI executive orders signed in the early days of President Trump's administration. This story is still developing, and last week, the Trump administration appealed the district court's decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. Regardless of whether the executive orders survive, many federal contractors and private businesses are assessing and adjusting DEI policies, programming, and public statements. EEOC Cracks Down on DEI and Gender Identity Policies Acting EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas said in a recent statement that the agency will seek to root out “unlawful DEI-motivated race and sex discrimination.” Lucas noted that the EEOC will also target the Biden administration's “gender identity agenda” as well as anti-American bias at private businesses. NLRB Rescinds Biden-Era Guidance Acting NLRB General Counsel William Cowan recently rescinded a group of Biden-era memos from former General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo. With the firing of member Gwynne Wilcox in the first days of the Trump administration, the NLRB has no quorum and cannot currently issue decisions, but more reversals are likely coming.

https://linktr.ee/doweknowthem  In today's episode, the girlies breakdown the drama around Tana Mongeau and Joey Graceffa after Tana revealed some concerning moments from her experience on set of the latest Escape the Night production, the series (and now movie) produced by Joey Graceffa. He had some things to say about her comments, which then led to Tana talking further about the entire situation. Then we move on to the backlash that TikToker Brittany Xavier and her family have been facing as people have been speculating that the reason for their recent move to Tennessee has something to do with the recent labor laws passed in California that require parents to financially compensate their children if they're featured in online content... but we think it has far more to do with something else.  We Love the Internets: https://www.tiktok.com/@jaxdomm/video/7474258068272844062 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGbNzcvSw1q 00:00 Introduction  4:53 - Tana Mongeau Calls Out Joey Graceffa  53:18 -  Brittany Xavier Leaving California 1:23:05 - We Love the Internet We hope you enjoyed this episode!
