I’ll be testifying today before the Pennsylvania House Labor and Industry Committee at a public hearing on harassment and sexual misconduct in the workplace.

I should be up at about 10:50 AM, when I will testify for five minutes on:

the current state and federal laws governing workplace harassment and sexual misconduct,
related legal issues, and
employer best practices.

You can find a copy of my prepared remarks here. My co-panelists and I will also answer questions from members of the House Labor and Industry Committee.

Here is a link to the full press release. The hearing will be streamed at PAHouseGOP.com and RepKauffman.com, barring any technical difficulties.

I also help clients litigate disputes involving restrictive covenants such as non-competition and non-solicitation agreements, as well as conflicts over use of trade secrets and other confidential information.
