The February 19, 2009 Eggs & Issuses Breakfast was about the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA). Our Guest Speakers were E. Burke Huber and Adam Boland, Attorneys with Ogletree Deakins, one of America’s leading labor and employment law firms. They gave us a background onthe EFCA and the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act. If you missed the Breakfast, the presentation slides are on the Chamber’s Eggs & Issues Archive page on the Website. I urge you to read through the presentation slides and follow the links to read more about the EFCA and what this act means to businesses.
