Employment, Law and Ethics
Details
Over the past century, the United States has adopted a comprehensive array of employment laws addressing discrimination, compensation, disability, collective bargaining, and privacy.

This presentation will call on these foundational standards to assess their relevance in the contemporary globalized economy.
