With the National Hockey League season in jeopardy, I imagine that Canadians are a fairly ornery bunch these days. Even further north, hockey fans too are in turmoil. Reports from the North Pole have Mrs. Claus moping around. Morale amongst Santa’s helpers is at an all-time low, causing toy production…
Welcome everyone to the Employment Law Blog Carnival: Hollywood Casting Call Edition.

I’m a firm believer that discussing religion (or politics) at work is a recipe for disaster. On this blog; however, if it’s employment-related, then that’s how we roll… And, after the jump, we roll into Oklahoma and discuss whether it’s ok for a lighting company to require that it’s employees…
