Employment Law and Labour Law

A group of former Delta Air Lines Inc. pilots has filed a petition for an en banc hearing of the dismissal of their military bias suit under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA).

The U.S. Department of Labor has released a proposed regulation that would establish a process-based safe harbor framework for fiduciaries evaluating alternative investments in retirement plans, including private equity, private credit, real estate, and hedge funds. The proposal outlines six key factors for fiduciaries to consider when selecting investment alternatives, aiming to reduce litigation risk while expanding access to alternative assets in 401(k) plans.

The 2026 changes to the Equal Pay Act double available damages and expand the scope of compensation at issue in such a claim, as detailed in our prior update.
