KRCL Webinar - The Texas Construction Industry and Top-of-Mind Critical Employment Issues
In today’s environment of heightened enforcement and legal complexity, construction companies across Texas must be prepared for unannounced visits from federal agencies such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
What should you do if federal agents show up at your job site or office? Understanding your rights, obligations, and potential risks is critical to protecting your company and employees.
A year into the current administration, we’re also seeing significant shifts in governmental priorities. How are agencies such as the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the Department of Labor (DOL), and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) impacting the construction industry today—and where might we be headed next?
Key Takeaways
- Understanding the authority of federal agencies (e.g., ICE) for on-site reviews
- Proactive steps to train employees, reduce risk, and ensure compliance
- Tips about how various agencies are currently viewing various employment issues
- Predictions for the future about agency action in this complicated area
Join us for a timely and lively discussion designed for contractors, subcontractors, and construction business owners.
This webinar is hosted by KRCL's Construction and Labor & Employment Teams.
