As it appeared on the Employment Law Blog
By Daniel Schwartz
The last time that I spoke with Plaintiff’s attorney Nina Pirrotti, the pandemic was just beginning and we were just getting used to our home offices. Now, 10 weeks later, the abnormal has become normal. My business attire has gotten a bit more casual and my office a bit more organized.
But it seemed a good time to check in and see what legal issues we were both seeing the last month or two as businesses start to reopen.
While we had previously done our “The Dialogue” conversations in writing, in March we tried video. The feedback we both received from it has led us to think that we may have found our new format. Let me know what you think.
A few weeks ago, Nina wrote a letter to The New York Times about employers taking advantage of the COVID-19 crisis.
When you start thinking about all the ways employers (and employees) have to keep each other safe, it’s a long list.
Hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did.
(Note: We recorded this a few days ago, so it doesn’t address the weekend’s developments that I covered in a blog post on Sunday.)
