I’ll be giving my annual New York Workers’ Compensation Law lecture to the St. John’s Law School Labor Relations and Employment Law Society this Wednesday, April 1, 2009 at 6:30 PM. My friend David L. Gregory, the Dorothy Day Professor of Law, has asked me to speak on "real world" workers’ comp issues to his students for over ten years now. Just a few weeks ago, NY AFL-CIO President Denis Hughes spoke to the same students on the "Future of Labor". I am in good company.
Given the ongoing implementation of the 2007 New York Workers’ Compensation Reform laws, which included an increase in benefits for injured workers, we will have a lot to discuss. The program is open to the entire community but seating is limited. Hope to see you there!
