Winston Sponsors and Labor Attorneys Speak at 2011 PIHRA Conference

Winston & Strawn sponsored and spoke at the 2011 PIHRA Conference, held August 29-31, 2011 in Anaheim, California. The theme of this year's Professionals In Human Resources Association (PIHRA) conference was "California Human Resources Professionals: Making Strides for a Better Tomorrow." Labor and employment attorneys from Winston's Los Angeles office presented three educational sessions throughout the three-day conference.

On August 29, Emilie Woodhead led "California Wage and Hour Litigation – Finding and Avoiding the Next Class Action Before It's Filed." This presentation discussed developing areas of wage and hour law in California and across the country, including the expansion of California's Private Attorney General Act (PAGA) and recent activity in "suitable seating," off-the-clock and expense reimbursement class claims.
