Summary
In this webinar, we explore the latest trends in federal and California employment discrimination law, including the challenges of managing an aging workforce, increased diversity of religious beliefs, emerging gender and disability issues at work, and more. We take an in-depth look at the new Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. v. Dukes decision, examine how anti-bias laws are being interpreted and applied in new ways, and give you compliance tools to help you recognize workplace bias issues and prevent lawsuits. Topics we cover include:

Lessons to be learned from the Supreme Court's landmark Wal-Mart decision.
When "stray remarks" about an older employee may demonstrate discriminatory intent.
New Ninth Circuit case underscores the need for uniform application of job requirements to avoid bias suits.
In addition, we review the impact of the California Supreme Court's recent Sullivan v. Oracle Corp. decision extending California's overtime protections to nonresident workers.
