If the LexBlog Network were to create a “Word of the Day” section, today’s word would definitely be “employment”. As you could probably guess, today’s roundup is heavy on employment and labor issues that range from wage and hour matters for employees in the event of a hurricane to fresh perspectives on the recent pregnancy discrimination ruling. I know you have all been hard at work this week, so sit back, relax and enjoy the best blogs of the day as this Friday afternoon winds into a hopefully peaceful weekend. Be well.
