Episode Transcript
Jerry Maatman: Welcome to our listeners. Thank you for being here for our weekly podcast series, the Class Action Weekly Wire. I’m Jerry Maatman, a partner at Duane Morris and joining me today on the podcast are my partners Jen Riley, Alex Karasik, and Greg Tsonis. Thanks so much all of you for being here on the podcast.
Jennifer Riley: Thank you, Jerry, happy to be part of today’s podcast.
Alex Karasik: Thanks, Jerry. Glad to be here.
Greg Tsonis: Great to be here, Jerry.
Jerry: Today we have a message about a great webinar coming up, Duane Morris’ mid-year review of the EEOC enforcement litigation and strategy. The host will be the four of us, and we wanted to personally invite all of our listeners and readers to sign up and attend this 30-minute event. Jen, do you want to share with our listeners a little bit about the content of this webinar?
Jennifer: Sure, Jerry. The webinar will be a quick 30-minute panel discussion where the four of us will review the EEOC’s latest strategic priorities and lawsuit filings. We’ll take a look at the first six months of the Commission’s fiscal year 2025. We’ve analyzed the strategic priorities, the lawsuit filings, and other activity for fiscal year 2025 to date, and we’ll provide our listeners that analysis in a short half-hour segment.
Jerry: This virtual program is in response to many phone calls we’ve been receiving from general counsel, HR professionals, and the like in terms of what in the world is going on with the EEOC. So, we’ve designed this webinar for corporate counsel, human resource professionals, and business leaders to provide insights into the EEOC’s latest enforcement initiatives, and just what is going on in Washington, D.C. in terms of all things involving the EEOC. Alex, what are the webinar details?
Alex: The webinar is scheduled for Monday, May 5, from 12 p.m. to 12:30 p.m. Central time. We will provide the sign-up link in the episode transcript on the Class Action Defense Blog. This webinar is really great information-packed 30 minutes and it’s well worth your time – especially to get insights into the EEOC’s activities on the first half of its fiscal year.
Jerry: This webinar will prove to be very informative, and we hope all of our listeners for our weekly podcast series can tune in for it.
Greg: We also want to remind listeners that we are publishing our primer on EEOC litigation, the EEOC Litigation Review 2025 edition this coming Thursday, May 1. Given the importance of compliance with workplace anti-discrimination laws for our clients, the Review is a great resource for corporate counsel and human resources professionals. It’ll be available on the Class Action Defense Blog in e-book format.
Jerry: Well, thanks, Jen, Greg, and Alex for being here today. We’re looking forward to our webinar next week, and to sharing our insights in terms of all things EEOC and what is going on in Washington, D.C. And we’ll continue to share those details in updated blog postings and sharing further thoughts and analysis regarding what employers can do to get ready.
Jennifer: Thanks, Jerry, and, thanks to our audience. Hope to have everyone at the webinar next week.
Greg: Thanks for having me, Jerry, and thank you to all the listeners.
Alex: Thank you, everyone.
