  AI Tools and Labor Law: Legal Guardrails and Looming Minefields

  Aug 18, 202644 minS1

  How is AI finding its way into the legal arena of labor and employment law, and how well do you understand this emerging field and the potential perils? Guests Nina T. Pirrotti and Daniel A. Schwartz are both experienced labor and employment attorneys who have encountered AI in the scope of their work and are sorting through the federal legal vacuum and emerging state laws. What they’ve found are AI programs that take inputs, analyze them, and provide recommendations in employment and labor relations. This can include scanning resumes, drafting job descriptions, performance reviews, summarizing documents, and even sending rejection letters. Are computers replacing human judgment? And it’s not just employers using AI. Job seekers are learning to use AI to create resumes and cover letters that match job descriptions, even burying coding inside applications designed to convince the AI screener to select them for an interview. “It truly is an AI arms race,” Pirrotti says. Job seekers use AI to flood the market with applications, and employers are so overwhelmed they use AI to screen them. But AI isn’t perfect. In a drive for efficiency, AI has the potential to discriminate against people who may be qualified but have a disability, be neurodivergent, or simply not meet the “norms” a program has been trained to see. There are legal minefields (and potential liabilities) out there. Is there a class action suit just itching to be filed?   REFERENCES MENTIONED:  “Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964” “Algorithms, Artificial Intelligence, and Disability Discrimination in Hiring,” U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division “Griggs v.

  Social Media and the Workplace: Free Speech Meets Employment Law

  Jul 16, 202648 minS1

  Social media is everywhere today. Ever wonder how the role social media plays into the employer/employee relationship? In this episode, guests Aaron Holt and SaNni M-K Lemonidis, both experienced labor and employment attorneys, join host Matt Greer for a deep dive into the murky waters of who said what where and to whom. Can employers regulate what an employee says on a social media channel – say Facebook or X? It depends. The “manner and method” of our free speech outside of work still matters. It’s about content and context. Harassment and discrimination matter still matter. Try the “water cooler principle,” if  a comment was made on social media, ask if the same comment was made at work around the water cooler, would the boss feel obligated to act. If the answer is yes, then action is likely required. This is a fascinating field, nuanced and sometimes dependent on the size of a company and capacity for control as well, as the company’s own use of social media in outreach and marketing. The laws, and EEOC guidance, haven’t changed. But the environment we live and work in has. Basic principles still apply. For employees, be nice to each other. For employers, do your best to ensure no one is being harassed or bullied. If someone says there’s a problem, employers can protect themselves by investigating complaints and developing and adhering to consistent policies.

As how and where we work changes, when do misunderstandings become a disruption, and what do we do next?</p> <p> Fact is, the workplace is a social situation as much as a labor issue, and learning how we interact with each other is more important than ever.
