Damien DeLaney and Jeff Kimmel, Co-Chairs of Akerman’s Wage and Hour Practice, have a discussion with Genaira Tyce, a partner in Akerman’s Traditional Labor Law Practice, about the increasing overlap between wage and hour laws and traditional labor law. The NLRB has been expanding its interpretation of the National Labor Relations Act to include claims that previously had been thought of as under the domain of wage an hour law. In addition, the NLRB and the DOL have entered into a memorandum of understanding to foster cooperation between the two agencies in order to increase interagency referrals of potential violations. In this episode, Genaira explains how this affects all employers, including non-union businesses, what they should be aware of, and what they should do to prepare for this new aggressive approach by the NLRB.
