Guest SpeakersIncluded:
- Angela Bradstreet – State Labor Commissioner - She addressed the recent Brinker Decision regarding Breaks and Meal Periods. If you aren’t familiar with this subject, let me assure you it has been one of the most debated labor issues for some time. Prior to what’s being referred to as Brinker II Decision, the burden for employees taking breaks and lunches seemed to be placed squarely on the employer.

- Dick Sullivan - BAR Enforcement Issues
- Marty Keller – Small Business Advocate for California
