At Noon ET, Amy Epstein Gluck, Michael Elkins, and I will present “What the Legal Landscape Looks Like for 2025.” Come hang with us for an hour while we cover key legal updates for 2025. Our friends at HR Learns, who are hosting this event, have pre-approved our sesh for HRCI/SHRM credit, although one of you will have to supply the Festivus Pole.

Did I mention it’s free? The other HR Festivus sessions, which kick off at 11:30 a.m., are also free. You can read the full agenda here.

HR would spit out their coffee, and Amy would beat me like Paul did Tyson.

You can register here if you’d like to attend any or all of HR Festivus, the HR holiday you didn’t know you needed.

On Friday, a federal judge in Arkansas dismissed a lawsuit that 17 states had filed challenging aspects of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s final rule to implement the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA)  — specifically the part that deals with “elective abortions.”

Yesterday, another federal judge in Louisiana enjoined the EEOC from requiring employers in Louisiana and Mississippi to accommodate elective abortions, i.e., an abortion prompted exclusively by the woman’s choice, where no physical or mental condition related to, affected by, or arising out of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions exists.
