The current pandemic raises new questions about the boundaries of employer obligations and employee rights regarding a safe workplace. How do we protect employee privacy and safety while also sustaining business and jobs during an economic crisis and expected rise in COVID related lawsuits?  In addition, employers and workers, like all litigants, will need guidance on how to move claims to resolution in an increasingly virtual or pandemic setting. Join the NYU Center for Labor and Employment Law to explore these important issues. This webinar is held in cooperation with the  Institute of Judicial Administration (IJA) at NYU School of Law.
