October 23-25, 2013
The robotics revolution is profoundly changing the workplace and the way work is performed. The impact of robotics on employers will be as profound as the Internet. The technological advances entering the global workplace are inevitable, yet decades-old workplace laws threaten to fill this journey with legal landmines and uncertainty.
In his compelling keynote address, Garry Mathiason, Chairman of the Board of Littler Mendelson, the largest U.S.-based law firm exclusively devoted to representing management in every aspect of labor and employment law, will unmask hidden employment and labor law compliance requirements of a robotized workplace (e.g., laws and regulations on safety, data storage, privacy, disparate impact on protected categories of employees such as older workers, layoff notification, severance, union organizing and retraining). He will also explore recommended practical legal compliance steps for both the robotics industry and the users of robotics. In addition, he will discuss anticipated future regulatory and legislative requirements.
