This week, host Dr. I. David Daniels will speak with Sheri Oluyemi, Esq, a practicing employment law attorney who began her practice in Canada but now practices out of offices in the State of Georgia. Throughout the history of the United States, labor-related laws have created protections from some of the exploitation commonplace at the founding of the country, and many of those protections remain in place today. However, there are still limits to what the law can do. This is especially true as it relates to protection from psychosocial harm. While microaggressions, overt insults, low-level incivility, hazing, and bullying may not be illegal, when these types of behaviors form a pattern that can be proven as discriminatory toward a protected class or a person engaged in protected class activity based on federal, state, or local laws, these very same behaviors may be deemed illegal in either a civil or criminal court. On the other hand, there are limits to what the law can do, based on the time it will take to process the claim and the energy it will take to work through the administrative and legal processes. Ms. Oluyemi will discuss various topics related to employment law from both the employer's and the employee's perspectives as she represents both. She also provides “breaking news” regarding a recent development that may change how federal agencies view psychosocial hazards such as bullying and harassment.
