In this episode of the Policy Matters podcast, Seyfarth attorneys A. Scott Hecker and Bradley D. Doucette delve into expected wage and hour priorities in the next presidential administration, depending on which candidate takes office. Scott and Brad provide insights into what these priorities could mean for employers, particularly regarding the Department of Labor's enforcement activities. Their discussion covers the potential implications of a second Trump Administration on wage and hour rules presently being pursued by President Biden. Additionally, Scott and Brad address significant legal ramifications from the recent Loper Bright v. Raimondo decision and its potential effects on wage and hour – and other – regulations. Tune in to hear their analyses and perspectives.

On this episode of the Policy Matters Podcast, Seyfarth attorneys Leon Rodriguez and Scott Hecker share strategies for responding to congressional invitations to provide information and discuss hot Labor & Employment topics Congress has been investigating lately. Tune in to hear the latest.

On this episode of the Policy Matters Podcast, Seyfarth attorneys Scott Hecker and Ariel Fenster discuss the U.S. DOL Wage and Hour Division's (“WHD”) resource limitations, and how those are impacting WHD priorities, like child labor law investigations and various significant rulemakings. The low number of investigators leads to high stress and low morale for those remaining, and WHD workers may feel overburdened and under-resourced. Join Scott and Ariel as they share their thoughts on these interesting developments, including how employers may be affected by these issues.

Recent government activity at the federal and state levels has led to enhanced focus on child trafficking laws, with both the Biden Administration and Congress signaling interest in the ongoing and potentially increasing use of child labor in the U.S. and global economies. STOP THE TRAFFIK [stopthetraffik.org]'s Director of Intelligence Neil Giles joins host Scott Hecker on this episode of the Podcast to discuss how STOP THE TRAFFIK – a UK-based, non-profit organization dedicated to ending human trafficking – analyzes data and collaborates with relevant stakeholders to share critical information and craft targeted global campaigns to eradicate trafficking.

With Jenny Yang suddenly departing the Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (“OFCCP”) for a position in the White House, the Biden Administration must contend with another open leadership role at the Department. Scott Hecker sits down with expert Christy Kiely to discuss Yang's legacy at the OFCCP; what the transition to a new director could mean for employers; pressing issues the new permanent OFCCP director will need to address; and the key differences between Yang and her acting successor, career government employee Michele Hodge. Join Scott and Christy as they talk through these issues, as well as the ongoing impacts of former Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh's departure from DOL and the pending nomination of Acting Secretary Julie Su to serve in the confirmed role.

As the dust settles following the 2022 Mid-Terms, including the Senate run-off in Georgia, we now have a clearer picture of the new Congress's composition and what its make-up means for the 2023 Congressional session. In this episode of the Policy Matters Podcast, Seyfarth's Government Policy gurus - Leon Rodriguez, Scott Hecker, and Scott Mallery - discuss how the chambers' party alignments will impact key Labor and Employment issues, nominations and appointments, and policy priorities.

Americans recently went to the polls (or to ballot drop boxes) to cast their votes in the 2022 Mid-Terms. Following the November 8 elections, Congress's exact composition remains up in the air and may remain so until the dust settles on Georgia's December 6 Senate runoff between Sen. Raphael Warnock and challenger Herschel Walker. In the meantime, Seyfarth's Government Policy wonks - Leon Rodriguez, Scott Hecker, and Scott Mallery - engage in a free-flowing discussion on what narrowly divided government could mean for Labor & Employment issues, judicial nominations, other Executive Branch appointments, and agencies' rulemaking activities.

The Davis Bacon Act - (DBA) has been an act since the 1930s and covers prevailing wages for federal construction contracts.  The DBA as gone through a number of updates over the years including a large overhaul in the 1980's.  Now, the Biden Administration through a a few executive orders,  and the Department of Labor has proposed new rules that, if enacted may impact not only federal construction but private construction wages.  Seyfarth Shaw attorneys Scott Hecker and Ted North discuss the proposed rules and its potential impact to workers, construction owners, subcontractors and prime contractors. 

On March 18, 2022, the Federal Register published the U.S. Department of Labor's notice of proposed rulemaking, “Updating the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts Regulations.” Among a laundry list of revisions, DOL is proposing to reinstate the “30% rule,” last used in 1983, for calculating prevailing wages under the Act. In this episode of the Policy Matters Podcast, Scott Hecker and Ted North break down the Act, and its proposed rulemaking revisions, as well as the role it will play in federal construction contracts moving forward. The Davis-Bacon Act touches 71 related acts and last year affected $217 billion in federal contracts, so employers should understand the proposed revisions and how to remain compliant - particularly with $1.7 trillion of federal infrastructure spending looming.

In this episode, Scott Hecker, Senior Counsel in the Labor & Employment department of Seyfarth's Washington, DC office, and Ashley Cano, Partner in the Labor & Employment department of Seyfarth's Chicago office, discuss labor law issues surrounding vaccine mandates. Ashley and Scott continue the Podcast's exploration of potential ramifications from a fully-approved COVID-19 vaccine, and they identify what union (and non-union) employers should keep in mind when considering vaccine mandates. While Ashley and Scott speak to the varied responses unions have had to vaccination requirements, they note one fairly consistent Labor priority: maintaining collective bargaining power.

In this episode, Scott Hecker, Senior Counsel in the Labor & Employment department of Seyfarth's Washington, DC office, and Adam Young, Partner in the Labor & Employment department of Seyfarth's Chicago office, discuss workplace safety issues surrounding vaccine mandates. Adam and Scott explore the potential impacts of a fully-approved COVID-19 vaccine, and how employers, including the federal government, are approaching vaccine requirements. Beyond vaccines, Adam and Scott lay out additional risk mitigation protocols employers can consider to limit OSHA enforcement risks, including in the healthcare sector (which is subject to OSHA's COVID-19 emergency temporary standard) and under OSHA's COVID-19 national emphasis program.

In this episode, Scott Hecker, Senior Counsel in the Labor and Employment department of Seyfarth's Washington, DC office, and Karla Grossenbacher, Partner and chair of the Washington, DC, office's Labor and Employment practice, head of the firm's Workplace Privacy team, and co-chair of the firm's Workplace Biometric Privacy Compliance and Litigation group, discuss employment law issues surrounding vaccine mandates. When it comes to mandating the COVID-19 vaccine, the federal government and its state counterparts have continued the patchwork response we've become familiar with throughout the pandemic. Karla and Scott address how these choppy vaccine waters impact employers, and what employers should consider in developing their COVID-19 vaccination programs.

In this episode, Scott Hecker, Senior Counsel in the Labor and Employment department of Seyfarth's Washington, DC office, and Scott Mallery, Counsel in the Labor and Employment department of Seyfarth's Sacramento office, discuss the U.S. DOL nominations of Doug Parker to serve as Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health and David Weil to return to his prior position as Wage and Hour Division Administrator, as well has how the confirmations of both Julie Su and Seema Nanda could increase the velocity of change at the DOL. With increased enforcement at the forefront of the Department of Labor's agenda, Mr. Parker and Dr. Weil could serve outsized roles in executing the Administration's policies and priorities. The Policy Matters podcast team lays out what we know about Doug Parker and David Weil, and considers what their nominations mean for the Department and the regulated community.

In this episode, Scott Hecker, Senior Counsel in the Labor and Employment department of Seyfarth's Washington, DC office, and Scott Mallery, Counsel in the Labor and Employment department of Seyfarth's Sacramento office, discuss the nominations of Julie Su for Deputy Secretary of Labor and Seema Nanda as Solicitor of Labor. Marty Walsh was sworn in as the 29th U.S. Secretary of Labor on March 23, 2021. Now, the Biden Administration must turn its attention to bringing in other leadership personnel to support the DOL's work. Deputy Secretary and Solicitor are the second- and third-ranking officials in the Department, and are key players in executing the Administration's Agency policies and priorities. The Policy Matters podcast team lays out what we know about Julie Su and Seema Nanda, and considers what their nominations mean for DOL and employers.

In this episode, Scott Hecker, Senior Counsel in the Labor and Employment department of Seyfarth's Washington, DC office, and Scott Mallery, Counsel in the Labor and Employment department of Seyfarth's Sacramento office, discuss the impact of moderate Democratic senators' independence on President Biden's nominees and policy objectives. Despite Democrats' controlling the White House and both houses of Congress, it isn't all smooth sailing for President Biden in implementing his policy priorities. Scott and Scott discuss what factors have slowed the anticipated velocity of change, what the evenly divided Senate means for some of the more contentious ideas in President Biden's agenda, and how the Senate's composition impacts nomination battles.

During his first full day in office, President Biden issued Executive Order 13999, directing OSHA to consider whether a COVID-19 emergency temporary standard (ETS) is necessary and, if so, to issue one by March 15. In this episode, Scott Hecker, Senior Counsel in Seyfarth's Washington, D.C. office, provides an overview of Emergency Temporary Standards, how a COVID-19 ETS might impact existing standards at the state level, and where the process stands currently.

In this episode, Scott Hecker, Senior Counsel in the Labor and Employment department of Seyfarth's Washington, DC office, discusses new Labor Secretary nominee, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh. With the Democratic sweep of the Georgia runoff elections, and his election victory now certified by Congress, President-elect Joe Biden named Mayor Walsh as his nominee for Secretary of Labor. The next Labor Secretary may have an outsized role, especially early in a Biden-Harris Administration, with challenging issues like an the COVID-19 pandemic, high unemployment rates, a recession, a stagnant federal minimum wage, and morale erosion at the Department dominating his to-do list.

The recent victories in Georgia by Democratic Senate candidates Jon Ossoff and the Rev. Raphael Warnock suggest an easier path for President-elect Joe Biden to enact his agenda. Following an unprecedented day in American political history, Scott Mallery, Counsel in Sacramento, and Scott Hecker, Senior Counsel in Washington, DC, touch on the events of the last 24 hours before turning to a discussion on the impact of the Senate flip and offering their insights on what we might see next. Topics discussed include: · The 50/50 split in the Senate, with Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris serving as the potential tie-breaking vote · Increase to the velocity of change with regards to the Biden agenda · COVID Relief · Committee chairs and “Personnel As Policy”

In a Biden-Harris Occupational Safety and Health Administration, we will see increased enforcement and regulation. Publicity as deterrence will make its triumphant return. Employers should be prepared for not only an enhanced COVID-19 response, but also activities in other OSHA areas (e.g., recordkeeping, workplace violence, heat stress). In episode 2, Scott Hecker, Senior Counsel in Washington, DC, discusses the following: • How possible OSHA leadership positions can affect administration and agency outcomes • Development of an Emergency COVID-19 standard • Other enforcement and regulatory priorities that could impact unemployment rates, emergency leave administration and enforcement, and future political nominations

In this podcast episode, Scott Hecker, Senior Counsel in the Labor and Employment department of Seyfarth's Washington, DC office, is again joined by Dr. Nupe Mehta, health care executive and clinician, to explore issues surrounding the COVID-19 vaccine. The first batch of COVID-19 vaccinations is being deployed across the country, with healthcare providers at the front of the line to receive the vaccine. With two vaccines distributed under Emergency Use Authorizations, how can we achieve broad community buy in to effectively battle the pandemic with these new weapons at our disposal?

In this podcast episode, Scott Hecker, Senior Counsel in the Labor and Employment department of Seyfarth's Washington, DC office, is again joined by Dr. Nupe Mehta, health care executive and clinician, to explore issues surrounding tracing, testing, and isolating as response and prevention strategies for COVID-19. With cases spiking and guidance frequently changing, communities need to continue their efforts to mitigate COVID-19's spread. Case investigation, contact tracing, and supported isolation and quarantine are all part of the solution, but what hurdles must these strategies overcome to prove effective in battling the virus?

The lack of a uniform federal response to the COVID-19 pandemic has left many employers in a difficult spot, as they scramble to stay up-to-date on mandates issued by various states, counties, and municipalities. Added to the mix are various liability shields that protect different industries, with different legal standards, and with different definitions of who's covered. One industry at the top of the list for liability protection - and also for OSHA enforcement - is health care. In this episode, Scott Hecker, Senior Counsel in the Labor and Employment department of Seyfarth's Washington, DC office, talks to Dr. Nupe Mehta, health care executive and clinician, about the response to COVID-19 compared to past pandemics and how health care delivery may be affected moving forward.

If you missed this week's BEHIND THE LENS live, you definitely want to take a listen now to two very special guests, SCOTT HECKER and THEO TAPLITZ! As if each isn't accomplished and interesting enough in their own right, when these two start talking sound design together, it is a true meeting of the minds and the generation gap disappears. While many of you may not recognize the name, SCOTT HECKER, you know his work well. An Academy Award, BAFTA and Emmy nominee, as a Supervising Sound Editor and Sound Designer with Formosa Group, Scott is one of the "sound guys" playing in the sonic sandbox creating an unforgettable auditory experience for moviegoers in films ranging from "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice", "Mad Max: Fury Road", "300" and "Man of Steel" to his earlier pre-Formosa work in films like "Sommersby", "King Ralph" and even working as a foley editor on "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back." You'll be as amazed as I as Scott regales some fun anecdotes about his work in the field these past few decades, including creating "walking sounds" for Chewbacca in "The Empire Strikes Back", one of his first sound jobs! And listen to Scott tell us about creating specialty sounds for the Batmobile and Batwing in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", not to mention his lessons on working with voices, and at the heart of everything – creativity. Filmmakers will embrace Scott's knowledge and vision! (And not to worry. Scott will be back in the future!) One filmmaker who received the benefit of Scott's expertise directly today is THEO TAPLITZ. A filmmaker in his own right, Theo is now starring in his first feature film – Ira Sachs' LITTLE MEN. A multiple threat, Theo writes/directs/edits/shoots/acts and does sound on his short films, but now we get to see Theo break out as an actor in a feature film lead with LITTLE MEN. And while Theo talks about LITTLE MEN and getting into his character of "Jake Jardine" and working with Ira Sachs, he also puts on his own director's hat to talk sound design with Scott Hecker! One of the best BTL's yet, folks! http://behindthelensonline.net http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com
