In February 2010, the Senate confirmed Patricia Smith to be the Solicitor of Labor at the US Department of Labor. In June 2010, the Senate confirmed Mark Gaston Pearce and Brian Hayes to the National Labor Relations Board. Solicitor of Labor Smith and Board Member Pearce will be the keynote speakers at the conference. The Solicitor is the Secretary of Labor’s principal legal officer, with responsibility for overseeing litigation conducted by the Department and for providing legal advice to the Secretary of Labor and other senior officials. The appointments to the Board bring the Board to five members for the first time in more than two years. With these appointments, Member Pearce and his colleagues are able to address lead cases that have been awaiting a full Board and respond to the Supreme Court’s New Process Steel decision, which invalidated the two-member board decision. Both presentations will address topics of critical importance to practitioners, analyzing recent developments and framing future issues.
The second part of the program features a leading labor law scholar and three leading practitioners, who will be advancing their ideas on the opportunities for reform in terms of procedure and law presented by these critical presidential appointments and noting any concerns for the future. Moderated by Suffolk University Law School Professor Marc Greenbaum, these speakers are New York University Professor Samuel Estreicher, Greater Boston Legal Services Senior Attorney Monica Halas, General Counsel of the AFL-CIO Lynn Rhinehart, and Seyfarth Shaw Partner Jeremy Sherman. Solicitor of Labor Smith and Board Member Pearce will be pre-sent to comment on the suggested reforms.
The day concludes with a networking and cocktail reception. Don’t miss this exclusive opportunity to meet with your colleagues, program faculty, and the leaders of the labor and employment bar.
