Workplace Law Predictions For 2019
hand changes 2018 to 2019
January 6, 2019 via 4Hoteliers
The past year has seen quite a few changes in labor and employment law, but with the New Year having just rung in, it’s time to look forward rather than backward. The question on the tip of everyone’s tongue is: what’s next? Here are our predictions for what to expect in 2019 when it comes to workplace law.

Expect More Class Actions
We’re going to start out with the bad news. Because of the potential for a big payout, class and collective actions are a favorite for plaintiffs’ attorneys. You should not expect that to change in 2019.

The California Supreme Court’s decision in Troester v. Starbucks Corporation has opened up even more avenues for potential wage and hour claims in the Golden State, and the trend could hit the rest of the country, too.

Explicitly Excluding Evidence of Implicit Bias in Employment Cases
January 2019 via Post & Schell

Imagine a case where an employer is found liable for discrimination not because of explicit or clearly delineated discriminatory animus but rather due to the alleged perception that the decision makers were influenced by unconscious stereotyping. This is the risk of "implicit bias" evidence—and this is, as they say "not a test." A number of courts have allowed implicit bias evidence to support claims of discriminatory animus.
