Working together is crucial. Although my law practice has primarily been defense centered, i.e. employers, on occasion I will handle an employee. Starting with an employment attorney to proactively establish your business as compliant in the multitude of state and federals laws… is just the first step, because consistent application is just as important. #EmploymentLawyer #HRConsulting #LifeCoachLauraW #CoachLauraWeis #MentalHealthMattersLAW #BreastCancerSurvivor #CancerWarrior #LiveWithGratitude🙏 #ShineOnGorgeous🪷 #LookUpGorgeous💋

December 10 marks both Human Rights Day and the conclusion of 16 Days of Activism. It also marks the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. ⁠ ⁠ As we reflect on the work to advance the rights of all people around the world, we celebrate our achievements -- but we also recognize that much more needs to be done. ⁠ ⁠ As we advocate for upholding and respecting the rights of everyone, we also call for an end to violence against women and girls. We hope that our efforts will go beyond this campaign of 16 days, and that others will be inspired to overcome violence with advocacy, diplomacy, and justice. ⁠ ⁠ #HumanRightsDay #16DaysOfActivism⁠

Words in the weekend's The Herald Scotland on what the Scottish Government should be doing to strengthen their upcoming Human Rights Bill. Main points include: 1. The consultation lacks details on how people can seek help or access justice when their rights are violated, we need to make sure *everyone* has access to justice. 2. The compatibility of the Bill with devolution limits needs clarification. 3. There's a need for greater attention to the rights of disabled people. 4. Timelines for implementing new public body duties should be included in the Bill. 5. The Bill must better protect and enhance everyone's rights, especially those most at risk. Still, this Scottish Human Rights Bill pinpoints a crucial moment for #HumanRights in Scotland - and through the consultation, we have an opportunity to make this Bill as strong as possible.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is 60 years old. I've dedicated almost half my life and all of my career to upholding it. I've counseled human resources in-house for close to 20 years on every iteration of protected classes and activities. In each interaction, I thought of the individual employee as a person. I acted with empathy and compassion, with reason and prudence. The call for "the dignity of work" echoed in my mind. Dignity comes when we are treated fairly and enables each of us to feel satisfied at the end of the day. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 leveled the playing field to ensure all persons have the benefit of providing good works and to have the personal grace and understanding of work's dignity. Most importantly, to do so without fear of discrimination based on protected class or retaliation for protected activity. In 1986, Bruce Hornsby sang a number one song with the lyrics: "they passed the law in '64, to give those who ain't got a little more... But the law don't change another's mind when all it sees at the hiring time, is the line on the color bar, no...." Hearing people sing about Title VII has always made me smile. Is it true though? Is discrimination "Just The Way It Is"? Not when human resources acts with integrity and with sound legal guidance. No workplace should deprive anyone of enjoying the benefits of employment free from hostility, prejudice, discrimination and retaliation. As an employment attorney, I've taken great pride in ensuring my employers complied with this basic law which codifies human rights. The future is undetermined. May the Civil Rights Act protect us all for the next 60 years, and then 60 more years beyond. https://lnkd.in/e9Nj7g99
