  2. This week, we break down the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC’s) recent commissioner charges surrounding abortion travel benefits, potential changes to employer policies due to midterm election results, and the U.S. Supreme Court’s (SCOTUS’s) decision not to review whether COVID-19 justifies a violation of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act.

    EEOC Commissioner Targets Abortion Travel

    On the heels of Republican Commissioner Janet Dhillon’s resignation, it is reported that Commissioner Andrea Lucas, also a Republican, brought commissioner charges against several companies for offering abortion travel benefits.

    Midterm Results Change Employer Policies

    The midterm results are in, and many states have adopted new ballot measures. The results may require some employers to revise their policies and procedures.

    SCOTUS Declines to Review Whether COVID-19 Exempted from WARN Act

    Last week, SCOTUS declined to consider whether the COVID-19 pandemic qualifies as a natural disaster under the federal WARN Act. Natural disasters exempt employers from the WARN Act requirement to provide notice before a mass layoff or plant closing.

  4. This week, we shed light on the growing issues surrounding electronic employee monitoring, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC’s) disavowal of comments by a former General Counsel (GC) regarding abortion travel benefits, and California’s latest marijuana employment protection law.

    NLRB GC Seeks to Widen Scope of NLRA

    Last week, National Labor Relations Board GC Jennifer Abruzzo issued a memo on employee protections against alleged “intrusive and abusive” use of electronic monitoring and automated management.

    Former EEOC Head Does Not Speak for Agency, EEOC Says

    The EEOC has officially disavowed the letters its former GC Sharon Fast Gustafson sent to some employers in early October. The EEOC said that Gustafson lacks the authority to make any such claim and does not speak for the agency. However, the EEOC’s actual position on abortion travel benefits remains unclear.

    California Adds Marijuana Employment Protections for Workers

    Effective January 1, 2024, a new California law will prohibit employment decisions based on off-duty marijuana use. California employers can still maintain a drug-free workplace, but they cannot discriminate based on marijuana use outside of the office.
