WHEREAS, the Bubbler experienced a great first year in publication; and

WHEREAS, our readers bubbled over with enthusiasm, demanding more relevant, fun content; and

WHEREAS, we, the geeky editorial staff, enjoy writing for our readers;

IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED THAT:

  1. In this new year, we will help you Square with the Times so you don't Drop the Ball on your employment policies and practices; and
  2. We will continue to bring you relevant employment and benefits law updates in 2019 (such as this one about Massachusetts' ban-the-box law, or this one explaining the New York State final guidance on its new sexual harassment prevention law) that you might have missed in 2018; and
  3. We will keep up with the dizzying pace of the California, New York, and Massachusetts legislatures in enacting new employment laws; and
  4. We will keep an eye out for trends so you know what's coming down the road in key areas like alternative work arrangements, paid family and medical leave, marijuana use accommodations, minimum wage increases, sexual harassment prevention, and protections for LGBTQ employees.

Have a happy and prosperous 2019!
