Seyfarth Synopsis: On February 13, 2020,
Jerry Maatman, Seyfarth's co-chair of its class action defense
group, hosted a book launch event – for the 16th Annual
Workplace Class Action Litigation Report – discussing key
trends in workplace class action litigation in 2019. In this
week's blog video, Jerry discusses trends #2 and #3 from the
book launch event. In Trend #2, he discusses highlights from the
U.S. Supreme Court in 2019 and the impact of U.S. Supreme Court
rulings. In Trend #3, Jerry discusses governmental enforcement
litigation in 2019, which reflected that the U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission's ("EEOC") lawsuit filings and
settlements slowed significantly last year. As a result, these
developments represent the second and third trends of the 16th
Annual Workplace Class Action Litigation Report ("WCAR").
