  • Religious Employers and Employment Law: Whose Rights?

    Religious Employers and Employment Law: Whose Rights?
    Feb 17 2026
    Religious organizations and their employees fall into a murky and often-overlooked area of labor and employment law. Guests James “Jim” Paul and Michael Subit practice in employment and labor law and are versed in the world of religious employers and their workers. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act carves out some interesting exemptions in employment law regarding religion-based businesses, but some recent court rulings seem to conflict with each other. Paul and Subit join host Matt Greer to delve into what constitutes a “religious employer” and where religious beliefs and practices challenge existing employment laws. A recent appeals court ruling spells out nine questions regarding religion-based retailers, religious hospitals, and other businesses. Is it created for profit? Does it make a secular product? Do articles of incorporation state a religious purpose? All of these considerations may matter. This issue goes way beyond practicing a religion. Consider same sex marriage, certain behaviors, and reproductive rights. Hear how quickly employer and employee rights can conflict. Is a Supreme Court showdown on the horizon?

  • Where Immigration and Employment Laws Collide, A Global Perspective

    Where Immigration and Employment Laws Collide, A Global Perspective
    Jan 20 2026
    Coming to us from the November ABA Labor and Employment Section’s annual conference, we bring together two employment law experts with unique perspectives on the nexus of immigration and employment law. Representing workers, guest Monica Guizar works with the Service Employees International Union, while Marcia Longdon of the firm Kingsley Napley brings an employer – as well as an international – perspective. Dramatic policy shifts crafted by the Trump Administration’s immigration policies are shaking up both immigration and employment law. Recently, Guizar says, we’ve seen immigration raids at workplaces, along with mass deportations. In some cases, the U.S. government has even removed legal status from workers who previously had permission to work. Even workers on skilled labor visas are impacted. Based in the United Kingdom, Longdon sees some similarities in policy shifts both there and in the U.S. as politics plays a role in immigration and labor issues. She explains international guidelines for hiring workers across borders to fill specific needs. One thing is clear, workers, employers, and employment lawyers are left to untangle swirling regulations and enforcement policies. Now throw in individual state laws and union representation issues. It’s a new world.

  • Former EEOC Chair Charlotte Burrows on the State of Workplace Protections

    Former EEOC Chair Charlotte Burrows on the State of Workplace Protections
    Dec 16 2025
    Live from Denver and the ABA Labor and Employment Law Section Annual Conference, a conversation with guest Charlotte Burrows on gender discrimination and the status of the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission). Host Matt Greer talks in person with Burrows, the former chair of the EEOC and a fellow at both the University of California Berkeley’s Applied Technology Policy group and the New York University School of Law. When most people spend the majority of their adult lives working, Burrows says there’s nothing more important than workplace protections against discrimination, sexual harassment, and abuse, regardless of sex and gender identity. Today, recent attempts to roll back many protections have brought the mission of the EEOC into the spotlight. Hear from a lifelong fighter for workers’ rights about how the tug of war over conflicting interpretations of the law, along with staffing cutbacks and shortages at the EEOC, are impacting workplace rights, protections, and case processing. Also, a few minutes with Salomon Chiquiar-Rabinovich Ph.D., 2025 winner of the ABA Labor and Employment Law Section’s Honorable Bernice B. Donald Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Legal Profession Award. Chiquiar-Rabinovich came to the US from Mexico and shares his inspiring story of immigration, his thirst for knowledge, and overcoming challenges and a disability in his service to others.
