WILLIS J. GOLDSMITH: I think that we're almost all assembled. We're going to get ready for our last panel of the morning. Each of the previous panels ended with hot topics, and each of the previous panelists covered a series of hot topics. This particular panel is all about one very hot topic, a topic that doesn't seem to go away. And as with the previous panelists, we're really fortunate to have Larry Baer, Don Sapir, and Marty Schmelkin with us, ...

THEODORE O. ROGERS JR.: Thanks. I have the pleasure of being able to kick us off here. We're going to in about an hour and a quarter try to run through the whole gamut as an overview of Federal employment laws.

WILLIS J. GOLDSMITH: I hesitate to say we've saved the best for last, but maybe we have. We have an ethics presentation that as in the past, I know is today going to be just terrific. Just to introduce people, to my right is Jill Rosenberg, John Gaal to her right, Laura Schnell, and Karen Mitchell. Again, the biographical materials are in the handout. And I commend you to read them, as well as the general materials that they've prepared. And so with ...

WILLIS J. GOLDSMITH: We're about ready to get underway for the afternoon session. I hope everyone had a good lunch. Consistently with the previous panelists, we have really just a terrific panel on the FLSA update-- basic wage and hour update with Michele Fisher of Nichols Kaster in Minnesota, and my partner Matt Lampe from Jones Day here in New York.

WILLIS J.GOLDSMITH: So as, I think, Zach and Peter are going to arrange themselves, we're now going to move right to the panel on The Nuts and Bolts of Traditional Labor Law. That is a law under the National Labor Relations Act. Even though union density has decreased, as all the data show, over the last 10 or 12 or 15 years to really the lowest percentage of union represented workers in the private sector probably since the '30s, the importance ...

WILLIS J. GOLDSMITH: OK. Before we get into the substance of the next panel, I have to ask if there's a video. Is there a YouTube video? ROBERT M. HALE: Oh, no. Nobody was on the FMLA or IDA. DEBRA L. RASKIN: No rock and roll. No nothing. WILLIS J. GOLDSMITH: Music? DEBRA L. RASKIN: What can I tell ya. WILLIS J. GOLDSMITH: Nothing? Zero? Oh, okay. ROBERT M. HALE: No, I'm afraid. You just got us. You just got us. WILLIS J. GOLDSMITH: Well, I'm ...
