Budgets of federal agencies charged with enforcing employment and labor laws have grown, and employers are the targets.  The plaintiffs’ bar is also not going away any time soon.  Hear directly from local “top cops” of two federal agencies, and join Dykema attorneys to discuss and learn how to navigate current and emerging issues in labor and employment law and employee benefits litigation.

We are pleased to welcome two excellent afternoon panelists:

Gail D. Cober, Director, EEOC Detroit Field Office

Terry A. Morgan, Director, NLRB Region 7

Our entertaining luncheon (included with your registration) features bestselling author and award-winning speaker John U. Bacon, author of Bo’s Lasting Lessons: The Legendary Coach Teaches the Timeless Fundamentals of Leadership
