Last month, our webinar on vaccines was really very popular. Given the breadth of the topic, we didn’t get a chance to answer all the questions that people had. In addition, since that initial program, Connecticut has modified its vaccination eligibility rules meaning employers that thought that they would have some time to think
Every four years I have a dream that an employment law question will be asked at a Presidential Debate.
I have yet to have that dream realized. And if the topics of debate moderator Chris Wallace are to be believed, we will have to wait (still further) for such questions at an upcoming debate.

On Friday, I had the opportunity to speak to the Human Resource Association of Greater New Haven. My sincere thanks to them for the invitation.
