'First Thursday' - Labor Law Seminar Series

The Status of Workplace Arbitration Policies
On September 30, Governor Brown vetoed AB 3080, which would have gutted the right of employers to require arbitration of workplace disputes.  This is a major victory for employers.  We will discuss why employers should take advantage of it, and what enforceable arbitration policy requires.

This ongoing seminar series is being conducted by veteran Petaluma labor & employment attorney, Jay Putnam. Putnam, has advised employers exclusively, in labor matters for over 36 years. He hopes to provide local business owners and managers with a solid, working understanding of California labor law, as a means of helping them avoid the often crippling cost and disruption caused by lawsuits resulting from a misunderstanding of applicable legal requirements.

Members are encouraged to bring their questions.  Putnam says he intends to conduct the seminars as "informal, working sessions, where people can bring their lunch and their questions and leave each month with important information that will immediately improve their business operations.
