OFCCP Director Patricia Shiu Joins Stephanie R. Thomas on The Proactive Employer

June 18, 2012 - PRLog -- Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis's vision of "Good Jobs For Everyone" was articulated in the Department of Labor's Strategic Plan 2011 to 2016. According to Secretary Solis, the Strategic Plan is about workers, about accountability, and about doing what works. On June 21, OFCCP Director Patricia Shiu joins The Proactive Employer to discuss “Good Jobs For Everyone” and how her Agency is working toward that goal.

The discussion will focus on OFCCP’s proposed regulatory changes with respect to compensation, sex discrimination, and employment of veterans and individuals with disabilities. We will also talk about the Agency’s new investigation methodology – reliance on “broad Title VII principles.”

John Fox, Esq., of Fox Wang & Morgan, P.C., will also join us to discuss what these proposed regulatory changes could mean for employers, how likely they are to become law, and what employers need to know about OFCCP’s new investigation methodology.

The Proactive Employer airs live on Thursdays at 12 Noon Pacific / 2 PM Central / 3 PM Eastern on the VoiceAmerica Business Channel. You can listen live or access on-demand episodes at The Proactive Employer website, http://www.thomasecon.com/tpe/
