Politics in the Workplace

Chicago partner Gregory Abrams and counsel Kelly Petrocelli will outline how to maintain a conflict friendly workplace and abide by laws that may be implicated during the upcoming political season during a July 15, 2020, Lorman webinar, “Politics in the Workplace.” Information discussed during the webinar will help participants describe the rights that employees may have to discuss or engage in political activity in the workplace; identify any obligations that employers may have when political discussions implicate employees’ protected classes; recognize when political discussions may qualify as protected concerted activity under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA); and explain best practices for lessening the likelihood of employee conflict on polarizing political topics.
