Is Your Press Coverage about the Great Things You’re Doing…or about a Major Employee Lawsuit?

And, it is expected that employers will encounter more investigations - and more governmental enforcement lawsuits - in the near future as the newly augmented staffs of the DOL and EEOC carry out their law enforcement functions.
