(Arlington, VA) The National Council of Agricultural Employers (NCAE) is pleased to announce the next installment of its educational webinar series, “Detangling the Department of Labor’s ‘Farmworker Protection’ Rule,” which will focus on the takeaways employers need to know about the Department’s recently published rule, “Improving Protections for Workers in Temporary Agricultural Employment in the United States.”
“Frankly this rule,” said Michael Marsh, NCAE President and CEO, “was developed in bad faith and should be withdrawn immediately. Despite the injustice and the Department’s myopic perspective in publishing the rule, America’s farmers and ranchers cannot wait to start planning how to contend with this damaging regulation. This webinar will offer attendees valuable insights into how they can remain in compliance.”
This interactive webinar will be led by Chris Schulte, a Partner in the Litigation Practice and Labor & Employment Group of Smith, Gambrell & Russell, LLP. Chris will review the key changes and updates related to the rule about which employers should be aware. Attendees at this webinar will learn critical information about how this new rule will impact their operations. Attendees will engage in an interactive Q & A about the rule and are encouraged to submit questions about the rule ahead of time.
The webinar will begin at 3:00 pm ET/12:00 pm PT on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. Participants will be eligible to receive one Professional Development Credit from the Society for Human Resource Management upon completion of the webinar.
Registration for this important webinar is available at ncaeonline.org. Marsh noted, “Our webinars are extremely popular and typically fill up very quickly. Please register as soon as possible to ensure you secure your spot in this important discussion.”
NCAE is the national trade association focusing on agricultural labor issues from the employer’s viewpoint.
