Easyjet and Ryanair must apply French employment laws to staff operating fr
2007-07-16 18:57:00 France?s top administrative court has ruled Easyjet and Ryanair must apply French employment laws to staff operating from the country. The budget airlines were appealing against laws introduced last year which compels foreign airlines to apply French employment laws for crews of aircraft based at the country?s airports. Ryanair, based in Ireland, argued that the rule breached European laws on the free movement of workers. But the Conseil d?Etat dismissed the claim and ordered both airlines to pay 2,500 euros (£1,700) in legal costs. Richard Martin, employment partner at law firm Speechly Bircham, said: ?This will be seen as French protectionism towards its employee-friendly labour laws, but in reality a similar view would be taken by English courts and tribunals with regard to our own employment protection legislation to flight crews operating out of the UK.? Ryanair said it would appeal the decision.
Question From Reader About Starting Own Management Side Employment Law Prac
2007-06-02 21:50:00 Reader, Michael W., emailed me the below question about starting his own management side employment law practice in New York City. My answer follows his question. I am interested in starting my own law practice in New York City, representing management in employment discrimination cases. I believe there is a real economic opportunity in this area for high-quality solo or small-firm lawyers, who can litigate these sorts of bread-and-butter cases as well as big firms but at a reasonable cost. My background: I am a 1997 law school graduate, with federal clerkship, big firm, and now U.S. Attorney Office experience (I am a Civil AUSA). I have seen your website, through various Google searches, and noticed that you have a similar practice to what I would like to build. My question to you is, do you have any suggestions for obtaining business from large and medium size companies? Everything else about setting up my own firm seems easy. It's finding someone to pay me for...

What Are Human Resources, Labor & Employment Law & Labor & E
2006-08-07 03:12:02 On 12/8/05, Dr. Tom Rogers and Jim Velos of The Rogers Group (www.drtomrogers.com), interviewed me on their Voice America Business channel program, ?Business Dis-eases: Cure Them or Die.? The direct link for the interview is: http://voiceamerica.com/common/-check.php?url=http://wm.kinodig-ital.na-central.speedera.net/wm-.kinodigital.na-central/surfnet-mediagroup/010183/Rogers120805.-wma. The website URL for Voice America?s Business channel is www.business.voiceamerica.com.- For 45 minutes, the duration of the interview, we examined how labor and employment legal costs can cripple or kill a business. I thought that for my blawg it would be great to summarize the interview and provide additional commentary, which couldn?t be included in the interview due to time constraints. This might help educate readers about the importance of human resources (HR) and HR cost containment. However, I think the first order of business should be to provide you with a definition of HR, labor and emplo... |
