U.S. Chamber Briefing on Employer Law Updates

A special employer and labor law legislation update will be made by the Senior Counselor for the Workforce Freedom Initiative from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Theodore C. Phlegar. 
The presentation will be held at the Clear Lake Arts Center on Thursday, April 30 at 12 noon.  The cost of the luncheon is $10 with reservations to be made at the Clear Lake Area Chamber, 357-2159.
 
Phlegar will discuss a myriad of employer related issues, many from the National Labor Relations Board.  These are issues that affect employers and their employees, and include reduction of employee privacy, access to employer e-mail systems, proliferation of so-called “micro-unions,” expanded joint employer liability, the rise of “worker centers,” and social media pitfalls. 
 
Phlegar holds a Master of Law degree from George Washington University Law School in Washington, D.C., and a Juris Doctorate from the Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles. Prior to his U.S. Chamber work, he practiced in the District of Columbia, focusing on ant-trust and intellectual law, civil litigation, commercial and business disputes, employment, contract and other disputed matters.
 
Phlegar regularly briefs business owners, managers, and community leaders on federal labor legislation and regulation, protecting the business community through labor policy planning and advocacy, and promoting these issues through social media outlets and grassroots activities.
