1. President Donald J. Trump nominated Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court of the United States. If confirmed, the 49-year-old Tenth Circuit judge would fill the seat left vacant by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia. Gorsuch was appointed to the federal bench by President George W. Bush in 2006, and his opinions have demonstrated his strong textualist views. Notably, in the Hobby Lobby case, he wrote that the First Amendment protected an employer’s religious objections to the Affordable Care Act’s contraception mandate. Stuart Gerson, from Epstein Becker Green, has more.

    (1) Supreme Court Will Resolve Class Action Waiver Split - http://bit.ly/2jLXnD2

    Our top story: The U.S. Supreme Court takes on class action waivers. In 2012, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ruled that class action waivers in arbitration agreements violate employees’ rights under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second, Fifth, and Eighth Circuits disagreed, finding that these waivers do not violate the NLRA and are enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act. More recently, the Seventh and Ninth Circuits sided with the NLRB on the issue. The Supreme Court will consider three cases in order to resolve this split, but any resolution could depend on the timing of the hearing. If the case is heard this term, before President Trump’s nominee for the vacancy on the Supreme Court is confirmed, it could end in a 4-4 tie. That would leave the law as it stands, and the split would continue. John Houston Pope, from Epstein Becker Green, has more.

    (2) DOL Files Suit Against Oracle - http://bit.ly/2jw7ecR

    The Department of Labor (DOL) is accusing computer technology giant Oracle America of paying women and minorities less than their counterparts and of discriminatory hiring practices that favor certain Asian applicants. The suit was filed after an audit by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs at Oracle’s headquarters in California, which found violations from January 2013 to the present. The DOL is seeking a court order canceling Oracle's federal contracts and requiring relief for the affected groups. Oracle claims that the suit is politically motivated.

    (3) EEOC Releases FY 2016 Claims Data - http://bit.ly/2jnB5sP

    Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) claims increased for the second year in a row. The EEOC has released detailed breakdowns of the 91,503 workplace discrimination charges filed in fiscal year 2016. Retaliation charges were the most common in 2016, making up 45.9% of all charges filed. This is the first year that the agency has included statistics about LGBT charges in its summary, showing the resolution of 1,650 sex discrimination charges and the recovery of $4.4 million for LGBT individuals.

    (4) Final Rule for Highly Skilled Workers Goes Into Effect - http://bit.ly/2kkiHAC

    U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and the Department of Homeland Security have published a final rule that makes it easier to sponsor and retain skilled workers. The rule gives added job flexibility and protection to foreign workers in H-1B status or in the process of applying for a green card, and the rule adds grace periods for certain skilled workers to remain in the country while between jobs. Also, the rule expands the eligibility of certain employers for H-1B cap exemptions and clarifies how hospitals and other health care organizations can benefit from these provisions.

  4. Top of mind for everyone right now is health care. Repealing the Affordable Care Act (ACA) appears to be one of the first priorities of the new Congress and the Trump administration. The repeal-and-replace effort likely faces many procedural and political challenges, and the speed and timing of the changes remain uncertain. Cassandra Labbees from Epstein Becker Green tells us how companies should proceed in this uncertain environment.

  5. The hacking controversies that plagued the 2016 election have brought cyber threats front and center. The Democratic National Committee is the latest prominent organization that has fallen victim to hacking. Because so many breaches are caused by negligent or malicious employees, it is vital that data security becomes part of the workplace culture. Brian Cesaratto, from Epstein Becker Green, has more.
