Mike Golden Quoted by ESPN
ESPN Sports Business Reporter Darren Rovell quoted our own Mike Golden as one of the “half-dozen experts” contacted nationwide on the issue of Jerry Jones’s threat that Dallas Cowboys players who did not stand for the National Anthem would be benched. ESPN shared Mike’s analysis along with the thoughts of professors from law schools across the country.
ESPN’s question:
Whether it would violate any employment laws for the Cowboys to refuse to allow players to play if they did not stand for the National Anthem.
The Answer:
While there was some disagreement, the majority of the experts and Mike came to the same conclusion: the Cowboys would not be violating the law by sitting players who did not stand. Full article>>>

Political Speech in the Workplace
by Laura Merritt
The 2016 election cycle was, as most people agree, contentious and dramatic to a degree not seen in recent history. Unlike a typical presidential election, the controversies and strong feelings have not diminished, but some might say, have even intensified and may continue to do so after the new administration is in place.

Fate of Overtime Rule Uncertain
by Ann Price
The naming of Andy Puzder as President-Elect Trump’s choice for Secretary of Labor signals that the new overtime rule set to become effective on December 1, 2016 may ultimately languish. Mr. Puzder is on the record as a critic of the rule. Currently, enforcement of the rule is stayed pending the appeal by the Department of Labor of the nation-wide temporary injunction issued by a Texas federal court. A ruling by the Fifth Circuit is unlikely before the inauguration on January 20, 2016. The new administration could drop the appeal or issue a different rule after notice and comment. The outcome of the November elections also makes possible legislation or other executive action to stop or alter the rule.
